E. Mitton is a descriptive travelogue that was composed in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a nuanced and artistic representation of the Normandy region, capturing its landscapes, history, architecture, and local culture through the perspectives of both a writer and an illustrator. The author encourages readers to appreciate the complexities and charms of Normandy while acknowledging the inherent limitations of any single portrayal of a place. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of Normandy's character, highlighting its mix of historical depth, diverse scenery, and the individuality of its people. Mitton emphasizes the difficulty of adequately conveying the essence of a region which encompasses not just stunning architecture or picturesque landscapes, but also a vibrant tapestry of customs and local life. He introduces the reader to the various aspects of Normandy, such as its contrasting districts and the beauty of its countryside, while establishing a narrative that transcends traditional guidebook formats by providing a more personal, impressionistic view of the region.
