"Over Fen and Wold" by James John Hissey is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the author's leisurely driving tour through the largely overlooked rural landscapes of Eastern England, particularly focusing on Lincolnshire. The journey showcases the scenic beauty and historical richness of the region, challenging common perceptions of it being flat and unremarkable. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author’s journey, beginning with the planning stage during a winter evening as he and his wife contemplate their previous travels while looking through their sketches. Personal memories intertwine with the inspiration sparked by a letter suggesting a visit to Lincolnshire, a place dismissed by many tourists. As they prepare for their trip, the author reflects on the joys of slow travel compared to the fast-paced railway, emphasizing the freedom and charm of exploring the countryside at their own pace. The narrative captures the anticipation of setting out from London into the open road, passing through historical sites, quaint inns, and the changing landscapes along the way, laying the groundwork for an exploration that promises delightful discoveries.

Reading ease score: 57.1 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
