520 _a"Thames Valley Villages, Volume 1" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the picturesque and often lesser-known villages along the Thames River, providing an exploration of their charm and historical significance. It also reflects on the river's evolution as a holiday destination, capturing both the beauty and changes that have occurred over time. The opening of "Thames Valley Villages" introduces the reader to the author's personal journey of discovery along the upper reaches of the Thames, a route that contrasts sharply with its more commercialized lower sections. Harper articulates a longing to rediscover the picturesque simplicity of the river's source at Thames Head and the quaint villages that dot its banks, starting with Cirencester and continuing to Kemble, Ashton Keynes, and Cricklade. With beautifully detailed descriptions, he evokes the historical context of these villages, their landscapes, and unique characteristics, setting the stage for a broader exploration of the villages within the Thames Valley throughout the rest of the volume.
