Bentley has authored what is more or less a coffee-table book depicting villages in England. He opens with an essay about villages and the types found in England. He then proceeds alphabetically by region with selected villages. Each village includes a description of the village with a brief historical sketch. Many of the photographs included photographs of buildings. I would have preferred to have seen more photographs of gardens or the buildings in their natural habitat as that is what I associate with a village's beauty. The latter part of the book did a better job of doing this than the earlier portion. It's an interesting book, but it didn't quite meet my expectations.

Villages are the very embodiment of Englishness. The village inn and the local farm, great houses, humble cottages and beautiful country gardens speak of a way of life that has developed peacefully since Anglo-Saxon times. A few days spent in England's idyllic villages offers urban dwellers and foreign visitors a revitalizing glimpse of a more tranquil existence, full of history, legend, literature and artistic heritage. The beauty and diversity of the English village are recorded in this book in absorbing commentary and magnificent photography by James Bentley and Hugh Palmer.
