Charles Kingsley

Two Years Ago (Dodo Press) Charles Kingsley

Work by Charles Kingsley, a prolific English novelist and author whose main power lay in his descriptive faculties. The descriptions of South American scenery in Westward Ho! (1855), of the North Devon scenery in Two Years Ago (1901), are brilliant; and the American scenery is even more vividly and more truthfully described when he had seen it only by the eye of his imagination than in his work At Last: A Christmas in the West Indies (1871).
