Charles George Harper (1863–1943) was a prodigious British author and illustrator, primarily recognized for his travelogues and topographical works that intricately sketched the character and history of English roads and landscapes. Harper's literary style melds an observant eye with a penchant for the quaint and curious elements of local culture and tradition. Among his numerous publications, 'Wessex,' he explores the region made famous by Thomas Hardy, delving into its rural beauty and ancient roots.
