Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Award winning journalist Askwith goes on a quest for a disappearing England, in this dramatically readable book about the English village. From the author of "Feet In Clouds", which sold over 25,000 copies, it's on a currently popular theme of England and Englishness, and should appeal to readers of "The Pocket Book Of Patriotism", "Forgotten Voices" and "Our Hidden Lives". There will be a massive marketing campaign.

Publisher's description:

The idea of the village - unspoilt, unpretentious, unchanging and growing almost organically out of the landscape - is one of the most potent in the English imagination. This work describes a journey in search of the quintessential English village, through dales and suburbs, down ancient lanes and estates.
