Mary Wesley's novels have given pleasure to many thousands of readers,and the West Country, where she has made her home for fifty years,has always been a source of inspiration.In 'Part of the Scenery' she revisits scenes from her own life and celebrates the rugged beauty of the Cornish coast,the wide spaces of Dartmoor and the lush peace of Devon's green valleys and rivers.With the help of Kim Sayer's evocative photographs she shows us her own personal West Country.
Mary first visited Cornwall in 1913,when she was one year old,and ever since,the West Country has held a firm place in her affections.Her childhood enchantment with the sandy beaches, high cliffs and bumpy rocks has endured and deepened as she has discovered more and more of this unique land.She remembers being taught to ride by Jenny the Exmoor pony,boarding a captured German submarine and coming across a herd of llamas evacuated from Paignton Zoo during the Second World War.It was in the West Country,with her husband's encouragement,that Mary began to write.Her characters and their homes have often been inspired by the people and countryside around her,as the quotations from her novels demonstrate.Here,when she shares some of the true stories and favourite locations that have made their way into her books,she allows us to glimpse something of the process by which a writer mixes imagination and reality in the creation of fiction.
'Part of the Scenery' is a private journey through the West Country,one rich in memories which illuminate the sometimes wild and independent nature of this region as well as its more familiar sunshine and beaches.From Land's End to Polzeath,from South Sands to Mary's current home in Totnes,this journey is vividly brought to life by Kim Sayer's beautiful photographs. And it is a journey we can all share.
Kim Sayer has been a London photographer for twenty-five years,specializing in advertising and editorial work.He particularly enjoyed working with Mary Wesley on this project as it allowed him to get to know more of the West Country.He now lives and works in south Devon.
