Root Around Britain

Conveniently arranged in alphabetical order, from Abstractions (you’ll find them on the Continent, of course’) to Weather, Root Around Britain tells the story of a quest. A quest for the essence of Englishness; a quest for a new television series which Mr Root can sell to the fat man in Birmingham; a quest for a peerage and the right way to pay for it (‘old money’ or ‘new money’?); and, finally, a quest for the means to humiliate a nosy neighbour. What could be more English than that?
