Great British Bus Journeys: Travels Through Unfamous Places |
Hazlitt judged the coach talk from London-Oxford more rewarding than that at Oxford's high tables. McKie takes 24 bus journeys often to out of the way places which tell a lot about the country we live in. Dundee, Winchelsea, Leeds and Taunton you know but Slaidburn, Irthlingborough, Louth, Witley and Nevern? McKie unearths fascinating and forgotten histories and eavesdrops on the life around him. Delightful.
