Finnemore, Peeps at Many Lands (1921)

“In Brittany the West-Country Englishman or a Welshman finds himself quite at home… The Breton peasant is a distinct figure among the workers of France. He is proud, and brave, and independent. He loves liberty, and he is his own master, tilling his plot of land or going to sea in his own fishing-boat… In Brittany we seem no longer to be in the twentieth century, but to have wandered back among a people of the Middle Ages.”
