A Sunday Times Book of the Week and Top 10 Bestseller What kind of
country is England today? What does it mean to be English? Are we
hungry for change or seeking old certainties? Join Stuart Maconie
on an enlightening, entertaining journey through England, from
Bristol's Banksy to Durham's beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to
Stoke's oatcakes. As his guide, Maconie walks in the footsteps of
J.B. Priestley's classic travelogue, English Journey, to explore
our national identity and how it has evolved over the last century.
On his way, Stuart takes inspiration from the people he meets at
bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops. Travelling
the length of the land, Maconie explores the differences between
city and town, north and south, and examines our past and present
with affection and insight. Whether he’s passing the boutique
hotels of Manchester, the moors of Ilkley or the grand houses of
Tynemouth, looking out over misty fens or urban skylines, he shines
a light on the people who make these places and asks what the
future holds for them. Along the way, he uncovers local heroes and
secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders. Through his
journey, he lets us see our homes and habits, hopes and
eccentricities with fresh eyes. The Full English challenges us to
embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to
ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be.
