Synopsis

Nick Crane, author of CLEAR WATERS RISING, set off in the summer of 1997 on a quest to discover what it means to be English. He walked the length of England along the English Meridian. The English Meridian - or Two Degrees West - is a line running through the heart of England. From Berwick on the Scottish border it runs south to Dorset, meeting the sea on the dramatic cliffs of the Isle of Purbeck. On his epic walk he encountered the full spectrum of Englishness - its people and places. On open moor and dale, through post-industrial towns and sprawling suburbs, Crane makes his extraordinary walk with his life on his back and tongue in his cheek. The result is a thorough and entertaining examination of England and the English.
