IN SEARCH OF ENGLAND
November 9th, 2009 adminRoy Hattersley has just published In Search of England (Little Brown, Nov 2009). It’s adapted from a series of columns he wrote for the The Daily Mail while travelling around the country.
Here’s the publisher blurb- “Passionate, affectionate and indefatigably curious, In Search of England joins a tradition of writing, from William Cobbett to JB Priestley, that makes a journey around the English countryside and character. England is the most various of countries; within its borders, life changes mile on mile. Roy Hattersley celebrates crumbling churches and serene Victorian architecture, magnificent hills and wind-whipped coast, our music, theatre and local customs, and, above all, the quirky good humour and resilience of England’s denizens. In Search of England is an unapologetic love story, a paean of praise for all the fascinating variety and flavour of England’s places and people.”
