England For All Seasons

ENGLAND FOR ALL SEASONS uncovers the basics: reading London's excellent entertainment guides; deciding when to bargain and when to splurge; learning to love London buses (try the #11) and to enjoy the English rain. Here are visits to wonderful low-profile places like the Imperial War Museum, where you can participate in a World War II bombing raid, and the London Theatre Museum, where you might find yourself onstage. This luminous account also contains side trips to little-known English mansions and a tour of literary Britain—from the Isle of Skye (where Gavin Maxwell died) to Daphne du Maurier's Cornwall.In ENGLAND FOR ALL SEASONS, Susan Allen Toth illuminates the nooks and crannies of a rich and ancient culture, the vibrant real England that every Anglophile dreams of finding.
