Review
'Sensational... I don't think I have read a better book about this country.' Michael Hofmann 'An extraordinary story - a gift for a shrewd and cynical commentator... This is a book to be read, a nicely instructive tale of our times.' Penelope Lively 'Wright is, as ever, a finder, a noticer, a powerful sustainer of argument. He brokers the most unlikely connections: Llewellyn and the tank, chalk strollers and local fascists.' Iain Sinclair"
John Mortimer
'Charts, with a wealth of most peculiar detail, every variety of romantic nostalgia, greed, tolerance and outrage which has contributed to the decline of rural England.'
