A native all his life, Chris Franks has been exploring England, its places and people, for nearly 20 years. Over that time, he has written about his experiences in several leading national magazines, including This England, The Yorkshire Dalesman, Wiltshire Life and The Great Outdoors. This collection gathers together over forty of those experiences in a nostalgic trip round some of the country's most exotic churches, castles, natural beauty spots and other special places. With 195 colour photos, evocative descriptions and personal reflections, this book allows readers to see and feel what it's like to be there. There are also famous writers, poets and musicians, together with stories based on the author's memories of living in Lincolnshire.

Whether you're a native, a visitor, or a distant admirer, there is something for all lovers of Old England.
