I have been reading British literature all my life. Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen have been my favorite authors since I was a young man. To visit the homes where the authors lived–the authors I have loved–is an exciting venture. I have some of this searching like the homes associated with the life of Charles Dickens. I think I will go further afield soon–perhaps I will start with the home where Jane Austen lived. Some of the most beautiful prose in the English language without a doubt! Nice.
This is my favorite country home–it is the home of Thomas Hardy in Dorset

Dreaming of a literary tour of the UK but just England may have to do with my budget. I enjoyed looking at your photos. I especially wish to visit the homes of the Bronte sisters, Jane Austine, Dickens and Shakespeare. I also wish to visit the beloved home (Menabilly) of Daphne Du Maurier though I would not call her literary! I am fascinated by her though. Your photos inspired me to visit the home and the home that was not to be, of Vita Sackville West. Do you have any recommendations for a good tour company for someone on a budget?
