Victor Canning: Everyman's England (UK 2020)
From the Publisher:
A classic travelogue that brilliantly conjures 1930s Britain.
In this series of pen-portraits of England from the 1930s, Victor Canning 'evocatively captures the pattern and colour of English life' (The Bookseller), from Cumbria to Cornwall. Canning's heart-warming and humorous observations of sleepy villages, pastoral scenes and busy industries are a delightful time capsule into life in England during the interwar years.
'What does the word England mean to you? To all of us England means something different, and yet I think there is for every man and woman some little corner which is more England than anywhere else...'
Victor Canning: Everyman's England. Duckworth, ISBN: 9780715653883 (September, 2020), 224 p., £8.99.
