A. Dutt's The King's Homeland: Sandringham and North-West Norfolk presents a richly detailed portrait of one of England's most celebrated royal retreats and the sweeping Norfolk landscape that surrounds it. Published for the Homeland Association in 1904, this authoritative volume chronicles the history, geography, and natural character of North-West Norfolk, guiding the reader through ancient villages, broad fenlands, and the quiet grandeur of the Sandringham estate itself, accompanied by thirty-seven full-page illustrations drawn largely from original artwork by Gordon Home.\n\nDutt, already well regarded as the author of works on East Anglia and the Norfolk Broads, writes with the intimate knowledge of a dedicated regional historian, his prose imbued with both scholarly rigour and a genuine affection for the English countryside. An introduction by H. Rider Haggard — himself a Norfolk landowner and celebrated author — lends additional cultural weight to the work, anchoring it firmly within the Edwardian discourse on rural England and national identity. A document of its era as much as a guide to a place, this volume leaves the reader wondering just how much of that tranquil, unhurried world still lingers beneath the surface of the modern Norfolk landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609713807579,"sku":"2026100010823-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e6eb72d8-2fab-4cbb-a161-1ea937216fab.png?v=1791764808","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010823-secondhand-the-kings-homeland-sandringham-and-north-west-norfolk","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
