The King's England

Enchanted Land, the introductory volume in the series.
The Northamptonshire volume in the original cover style

The King's England is a topographical and historical book series written and edited by Arthur Mee in 43 volumes. The first, introductory, volume was published in 1936 by Hodder & Stoughton; in 1989, The King's England Press was established to reprint the series.

The publishers (Hodder and Stoughton) claimed that the series was a modern Domesday Book and that the compilers had travelled half-a-million miles in order to complete their task.[1] The vast majority of the content is an alphabetical description of parish churches, and associated historical figures and other local worthies.
