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.
