Description
An immersive journey through Britain’s history, woven together with the elegance of haiku poetry. From the lush, untouched forests of the past to the smog-filled cities of industrial progress, each verse captures a pivotal moment in time, offering readers a poetic window into the evolution of a nation.
This beautifully illustrated work blends history with artistry, using striking watercolours to complement its resonant verses. It transports readers through centuries of valour, strife, and transformation, from medieval battles to the rise of the modern metropolis. Highlighting key historical events—such as the Great Fire of London and the devastation of World War II—the book not only reflects on the past but also poses essential questions about our collective future.
At its heart, The Last Words of Albion carries an urgent ecological message, reminding us of our deep bond with the natural world and the consequences of human progress. Thought-provoking and visually stunning, this book is a unique celebration of Britain’s heritage, appealing to history enthusiasts, poetry lovers, and young readers alike. Whether read aloud, studied in the classroom, or explored as a personal reflection, The Last Words of Albion transforms history into an interactive and inspiring experience.
