| Evidence: | 'I am reading volume four of "Wonderful Britain". It is attractively illustrated, particularly to an interned exile. What attracts me specifically, apart from the pictures, are articles on things to see around London, Manchester and Sheffield - Wansdyke and Offa's dyke, the magic of the fens.' |
