A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'A very funny book' Miles Kington, Independent
Eighteen years ago, Joe Bennett left England for a holiday. Now he's come back.
But how is the England of his memory different from the England of the motorway? Identikit High Streets, New Labour, chicken tikka, poker-machine pubs - things aren't what they used to be. But the longer Joe travels, the more he wonders whether things were ever what they used to be. Even a century ago, H. V. Morton, the nation's most celebrated eulogiser, was In Search of England.
Criss-crossing the country with varying degrees of enthusiasm, Joe Bennett delivers a wonderful follow-up to the acclaimed A Land of Two Halves, and establishes himself as one of our most engaging travel writers.
'An affectionate look at all things peculiarly British . . . So sweetly written you want to eat it' Sunday Times
'A brilliant wit . . . His viewpoint is refreshingly simple, deadly accurate and absurdly funny' Daily Mail
'A funny and poignant portrait of Bennett's homeland: England . . . Part love letter, part diatribe and part eulogy, this is a witty account of his travels' Daily Express
