Flanders has its own, individual face. a 'fair face' which Patricia Carson describes in an accurate and lively way in this book. She describes Flanders from the point of view of a British historian, differently from the way it is handled in traditional textbooks. she combines a story-teller's fascinating style with deeply rooted knowledge and her own vision. You cannot understand Flanders and the Flemings without knowing their history. the author became very well-known because of 'the Fair Face of Flanders'. this impressive portrait of her second mother country appeared in 1969 and was translated into four languages. It became a best-seller for which in 1977 she received the Eugene Baie-prize. This revised edition is illustrated with photographs by Hugo Maertens.
