In A Book of Dartmoor, Sabine Baring-Gould explores the moor’s landscape, communities and past, describing prehistoric stone rows and hut circles, old churches and crosses, abandoned farms, tin workings and the paths linking villages and valleys. Alongside these accounts, he records local customs, songs and legends, many gathered from people who knew the moor through their daily lives.First published in 1900, the book captures Dartmoor at a time of change. Baring-Gould brings together travel writing, historical research and personal observation to create a detailed portrait of the region and its people. His account offers a way into Dartmoor’s archaeology and folklore, as well as a glimpse of how the moor was seen by a writer of his own time.This new annotated edition introduces Baring-Gould’s’s travel writing to a modern reader, with refreshed design and up to date references.
