Starting in the stubble fields of Northamptonshire in partridge time, Quiller-Couch and the artist Alfred Parsons follow the Avon down through Warwickshire. Their journey passes old mills, churches and market towns, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, and the meadows to Anne Hathaway’s cottage at Shottery, with Shakespeare never far from the conversation.
