Hertfordshire has been an inspiration to many writers including the world-famous Thomas Hardy and Enid Blyton.
With the country in lockdown visiting different parts of our region isn't the best idea with everyone being told to stay at home.
However, that shouldn't stop you from exploring Herts through literature with one of these top class novels:
The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde

Technically not a novel, this play by Oscar Wilde was first performed in 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London.
The 'trivial comedy for serious people' is centred around two protagonists trying to escape burdensome social obligations.
