Description
An eccentric travelogue packed with intriguing literary tales and bookish curiosities. Learn why Thomas Hardy was buried twice, how a librarian in Manchester invented the thesaurus to cope with depression, what caused Dickens to leap out of bed and walk 30 miles from London to Kent, how a Welsh jellyfish saved Evelyn Waugh’s life and why Agatha Christie was investigated by MI5 during the Second World War. An entertaining romp through mainland Britain, which also takes in unusual writers' haunts and the surprising places that inspired some of our favourite fictional locations.

Made in Britain.

Reviews

Overall product rating 4.3/5
10 July 2019
Service Rating:
It is a gift for someone so feel it will be ideal.
28 March 2019
Service Rating:
Looks good but passed on immediately as gift for son. Will find out more, later.
27 February 2019
Service Rating:
Content as expected, and, as with 1940s Childhood, this will be a gift to a literary person who travels round England a lot and will enjoy it.
