Informative - obscure facts about EnglandAugust 7, 2006 DavyA(Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) 127 out of 131 found this review helpful
What a great read . Loads of interesting,obscure & little known facts about England.
There is a section on each English county & some of the towns & cities therein. The book covers each county's "claims to fame" (many of which were unknown to me - really interesting & enlightening) along with other fascinating historical snippets.
Dip in & out or read straight through, either way it's an entertaining & informative book.
It's the kind of book they must get pub quiz questions from !!
As the previous reviewer points out,a really excellent stocking filler - real value & a true "find" .
Top quality.

I found this book to be a brilliant stocking filler, a really good 'toilet' read. I flicked through it at first, searching for locations from my childhood and teens, such as places I had visited on family holidays, etc. However, after an initial trawl I read it over a period of about 36 hours. There is not a place in England that doesn't have some obscure fact related to it.
A bloody good book, highly recommended.

A most interesting book - we really did not know these things about England, including some things about our home County !
A lot of interesting factsFebruary 3, 2009 T. R. Lean(Oxfordshire) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has so many interesting nuggets of information about places in England. It's not comprehensive but would encourage me to travel to parts of the country I don't know. A good bedside book to dip into.
