More from Unmitigated England by Peter Ashley

"It is the mark of a good book that it makes you look at the world with fresh eyes, like an immersion in a good novel can, or a long visit to a gallery that you've never been to before: every time I put this book down I felt like I'd emerged blinking from the cinema on a sunny afternoon, and I wanted to go back in and see the film again straight away, and that's how this book grabs you." --Yorkshire Post

More from Unmitigated England is just that. Even more from the pen and camera of Peter Ashley, whose bestselling Unmitigated England prompted A. N. Wilson in his Daily Telegraph column to call it 'an absolutely stunning illustrated book'.

This new volume promises more of Peter Ashley's very English passions, including breweries, paintings, children's books, canals and Christmas; with everything illustrated from the author's seemingly inexhaustive collections of photographs, watercolours and scrapbook items. And once again with an irreverent and often funny commentary that reminds us of an England that is both in the past and waiting to be discovered.
