Product Description
Review
John Brown has a wicked eye for the absurd and his work is
obviously researched as well as funny. --BBC Collective
Praise for 'Return to Oz':
Once in a while you come across a book that lifts the spirit and brightens your day. This is one of those books. It details the original time spent by a young teenager in Australia, and the long overdue return, as the title suggests, to OZ.I found his descriptions of people and places enchanting, and the warmth with which he talks of Australia almost magical - this is a great travel book. --Peter Dunstan: Barnes and Noble Review
Praise for 'Return to Oz':
I have never been to Australia but this book has made me want to go. It describes Oz from a teenager's perspective and how it has changed over the ensuing years. I loved it. Reads like a who-dun-it, but it is about a boy's dream and an adult's reality. A great read.

Product Description
A long awaited new travel book from John Brown (remember 'Return to Oz'?) which explodes the myths held by many about the North of England. From the lush plains of Cheshire to the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, from Hadrian's Wall to Cumbria, Lancashire and Merseyside - John Brown skillfully picks away at the widely-held belief that all people 'North of Watford Gap' live in terraced houses, keep whippets and pigeons, and wear flat caps and clogs.

Having read Return to Oz, I was delighted to see John Brown's new book was now available. Any worries I may have had about this being a great follow-up disappeared after the first few pages. This travel read is directed at all those people who have never visted The North, while at the same time making a great read for all the inhabitants of the places he visits.
Sharp as a tack, well researched, and as with Return to Oz, John has shown his unique writing style - taking you from pathos to laughter in a single sentence.
Great read !
