Reflections of the South Hams
Nigel Evan’s first illustrated book, “Reflections of Dartmouth”, was published in 2008, and after receiving critical acclaim and becoming a No 1 Bestseller in the Western Morning News, it was reprinted in 2009. Published by Dartmouth based book publisher, Richard Webb, it has been followed by the launch last month of Nigel’s latest book titled, simply “Reflections of South Hams”. With a foreword by Jonathan Dimbleby (Patron of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this is another lavishly illustrated book celebrating the beauty of the towns, countryside and coastline in the wider South Hams area.
In his introduction to the book, Nigel Evans writes; “I hope this book gives you a taste of the flavour and atmosphere of the South Hams. I don’t pretend to have covered every aspect or village of the area but hope there is something for residents to savour and for visitors to take home and relive some happy times and maybe inspire others to make a visit to this unique and outstanding piece of England.”
Nigel Evans’s photographic journey reveals this beautiful landscape at its best. The towns of Totnes, Dartmouth, Salcombe and Kingsbridge all have chapters of their own featuring some of Nigel’s unique images. Highlights of his book also include the enchantment of the River Dart valley, the sweep of Start Bay, and the attractions of the Salcombe/Kingsbridge estuary. The mystery of Burgh Island and the delights of Bantham beach are followed by the charm of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.
Specially taken photos of the National Trust properties of Greenway, Coleton Fishacre and Overbecks capture their unique spirit and will remind visitors of enjoyable days spent in these historic houses and gardens.
The book is a masterpiece of fine photography for everyone who loves the South Hams. With 184 illustrations over 200 pages, the book is available for £19.99 from www.dartmouthbooks.co.uk, and The Harbour Bookshop in Dartmouth.
