Subtitled The Hambleden Valley in Photographs, Portrait of a Valley captures the hauntingly beautiful landscape and the people of the valley, at work and at play, over the course of a year.
From a readers review: “Here are the people, places and events in the modern life of a unique fold in the Chiltern
Hills - an invaluable evocation of its villages and valley in the first year of the new
century and the third millennium.
For those who live in places like Hambleden or Fingest, Fawley or Medmenham, Skirmett, Turville
or Frieth, here are familiar faces and ancient vistas, for those who visit this enchanted vale,
here are comfortable taverns and quiet times.
For all who cherish the Chilterns, here are
timeless faces and places - a vision and a waking dream of near meadows, still stream and
rolling hillside.”
Portrait of a Valley - The Hambleden Valley in Photographs is available from Amazon, and also directly fom Caroline.
Due for publication in late 2009, Caroline's next book will be a behind the scenes look at the traditional sport of pheasant shooting, the livelihoods derived from it, and the effect on conservation and wildlife.

The first Royal Photographic Society Portfolio, Portfolio One, was published in late September 2007.
Covering current styles and trends within the Society and the photography of selected
members, it features several of Caroline's images.
Caroline's portrait of Ray Davies was used as the cover for his collection of short stories, Waterloo Sunset.
