Publisher's Synopsis
Here is a travel book with a difference. On one level it serves as a practical companion on journeys around the British Isles, a fund of valuable information on what to see and how to get there. On the other hand, its pages provide fascinating reading for the armchair traveller, with lively evocation of town and country, of past and present. One man's unashamedly personal -- and often endearingly idiosyncratic -- view of Britain and Ireland, this book offers a wealth of entertainment and information, with numerous photographs by the author to supplement the lively descriptions furnished by the text.
