In Search of England

£9.99

H. V. Morton travels through England by motor car in the 1920s and encounters ruined gothic arches in Glastonbury, farmers bartering for cigars in Norfolk and what now seems like an idyllic way of life - free of traffic jams, noise and pollution.

While Morton draws the reader’s attention to the differences between the England he finds and the one he knew as a boy, the marked differences that have taken place in the intermittent 75 years since the book was written are what jump out.

Arguably the best book of its type, Morton’s travels will inspire you to jump in the car and follow in his tyre tracks.
