Synopsis

Despite a thousand years of glorious history, the people of England know surprisingly little about the facts and fables, people and places and events and emblems that have shaped their country and its heritage. How does the Haxey Hood Game work? Who was Saint George? Why is English Law different to Scottish Law? From the White Cliffs of Dover to MG Rover, from the Campaign for Real Ale to Royal Mail, and from John Milton to blue stilton, Nicholas Hobbes explains and celebrates every aspect of Englishness for a modern audience. The result is as entertaining as it is essential.
