Why read it?

1 author picked London's Epping Forest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I recommend this book as I have often gone back to it.

It takes us from Chingford Plain to Fairmead Bottom, High Beach, Upshire, Waltham Abbey, Epping, Strawberry Hill, and Connaught Waters, all of which I often visited in my boyhood and youth. There are many lovely pictures, most in black and white and some in colour, and there are good maps.

It gives me pleasure to be reminded of pre-1968 local scenes in the pictures.

From Nicholas' list on Epping Forest.
