Publisher's Synopsis
A scone with clotted cream. A spirited (and endless) cricket match. Classic London taxis queued up in front of Big Ben. A thatched cottage that's every bit as beguiling as Winchester Cathedral. What is it about Britain that makes people want to start packing? Everything!
Filled with hundreds of images of what makes Great Britain great, it's a year of culture, characters, and the soft-washed beauty of the islands. Punting on the Thames. A rosy-cheeked child in an unpronounceable but irresistible Welsh hamlet. The theater, the pubs, the castles, and the history that goes back before Shakespeare, William the Conqueror, or even Hadrian's Wall--all make this celebration of England, Scotland, and Wales a must for every Anglophile.
