Excerpt from Yorkshire Dales and Fells Painted Described This book is a companion volume to that entitled 'Yorkshire Coast and Moorland Scenes, ' which was published in 1904. It describes a tract of country that is more 11 of noble and imposing scenery than the northeastern comer of the county, although it has none of the advantages of a coast-line. Beyond this, the area covered by the present volume is larger than that of the earlier one, and the historic events connected with its great over-lords and their castles, with the numerous monasteries and ancient towns, are so full of thrilling interest that it has only been possible to sample here and there the vast stores of romance that exist in some hundreds of volumes of early and modem writings.
