Back in England after eighteen years, Joe Bennett follows in the footsteps of H.V. Morton as he discovers what it really means to be English.
But how is the England of his memory different from the England of the motorway? Identkit High Streets, New Labour, chicken tikka, poker machine pubs - things aren't what they used to be. But the longer Jo travels, the more he wonders whether things were every what they used to be. Even a century ago, Morton, the nation's most celebrated eulogiser, was In Search of England.
Criss-crossing the country with varying degrees of enthusiasm, Joe Bennett delivers a dazzlingly funny and poignant portrait of his homeland. Part love letter, part eulogy and part diatribe.
