Lincolnshire is a big county, ranging from the unsuspected heights of the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds, across the prairie-like expanses of some of Britain's most fertile soils to a coastline which includes bracing Skegness and the ports of the mighty Humber. But outside the boundary it is scarcely known, which is a surprising fact in this overcrowded island. "Moods of Lincolnshire" is a superb evocation of this unknown but beautiful and varied county through over 140 wonderful colour photographs. Janet and Peter Roworth know the county intimately, having lived there for many years and working for various conservation organisations. Their look at the county reveals many surprising and unsuspected gems, from the glories of the cathedral-capped city of Lincoln, to the superb architecture of country towns like Grantham, and Stamford, and the rolling rural acres of the hinterland.
