Summary
The author takes us to a place of which there are now only memories and ruins: the Great Britain that gave us the Industrial Revolution, a nation that led the world in feats of engineering, a Britain of empire, a place of vital cities, each with their own unique identity, a country whose residual presence can still be found in the strangest corners of the world. This book is full of essays about contemporary Britain and is both nostalgic and ironic about a vanishing Britain.
