Lyme Regis A Retrospect.
Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Signed on the front free endpaper by J. R. R. Tolkien, who holidayed in Lyme Regis as a child and then later with his own family. Anyone interested in the topography of Middle Earth will be struck by the parallels with the famous dizzingly vertiginous cliffs of Lyme Regis.
