A wonderfully quixotic, charming and surprisingly uplifting
travelogue which sees Jack Cooke, author of the much-loved The
Treeclimbers Guide, drive around the British Isles in a clapped-out
forty-year old hearse in search of famous - and not so famous -
tombs, graves and burial sites. Along the way, he launches a
daredevil trespass into Highgate Cemetery at night, stumbles across
the remains of the Welsh Druid who popularised cremation and has
time to sit and ponder the imponderables at the graveside of the
Lady of Hoy, an 18th century suicide victim whose body was kept in
near condition by the bog in which she was buried. A truly unique,
beautifully written and wonderfully imagined book.
