This wonderful book takes an
affectionate, entertaining and perceptive look at the English people.
Here are their traditions, foibles, quirks, customs, humour and
achievements, triumphs and failures, peccadilloes and passions. Travel
through England from coast to coast and learn how every county
contributes in unique and different ways to the distinct English
personality. Marvel at crooked black and white halls in Cheshire and
soft golden stone cottages in Midland villages. Go cheese rolling in
Gloucestershire, discover the origins of cricket in Hampshire, savour a
hot pot in Lancashire and a pudding in Yorkshire. Gasp at the glories of
stately homes and the families that create them, upstairs and down,
enjoy a pint. Listen to the memories and tales of ordinary folk from
every walk of life and find out from them what it means to be English.
This irresistible book is packed with fascinating trivia and amusing
stories that will entertain and inform for hours on end.
