Présentation de l'éditeur

The A272 runs from Poundford in East Sussex, to Winchester and a bit beyond, between the North and South Downs. To some people it is 'a lovely, lovely lane'; to others 'the worst b****y road in the south'. To Dutchman Pieter Boogaart it is the Epitome of England. This book was written and designed to prove his point. It instantly became a cult classic. Now, eleven years later, Pieter has revised, augmented and improved his book with his wife Rita; and it is, at last, 272 pages long!
