Book First Edition
Hard Cloth Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 24 Illustrations (illustrator). Revised Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 277 pages plus index clean and tight. Godfrey Smith's witty and stylish A - Z companion of England and Englishness was published to great acclaim in the 1980s, and is now available again in this revised and updated edition. Smith takes us on a leisurely but perceptive tour of all that he holds dear in England and the English. It is very much an informal ramble, as if in the company of an old friend, hence it is unashamedly subjective, idiosyncratic and - occasionally - capricious. He does not flinch at English failings, but as he says: `No reader will be left in much doubt about where my affections lie. I find England so overwhelmingly the best country in the world that it is really rather bad form to say how much.' Wearing his learning lightly, he opens with Abroad, that most un-English of places, and Accent, the quintessential English concern, and then treats us to a display of sparkling and knowledgeable comments on a wealth of topics. The breadth and depth of his imaginative insights into our national life are a joy to read. He touches on anything and everything, from Churchill to Pubs, Elgar to Rugby, Bertie Wooster to George Orwell, and from Fish and Chips to Evelyn Waugh. It is impossible here to do full justice to his writing, but perhaps it is best summarised by his observations on the profound truth that the Thames is a magic river, Oxford an enchanted city, and England. .an imaginary land inhabited by improbable people. Size: Lge 8vo.
