I Never Knew That About The Lake District

Learn about the hidden places, the secrets and legends, wild characters and human stories that haunt England's most mountainous region - from England's wettest place to the country's highest point, from the birthplace of Postman Pat to the resting place of Poets Laureate.

I Never Knew That About Yorkshire

You will learn about Britain's biggest clog factory, the first English actor to win an Oscar, the world's oldest football club and the world's largest expanse of medieval stained glass. This gem of a book will act as a wonderfully surprising and highly entertaining guide to one of England's much loved counties.

  • 'A Beautiful guide to the lore of the villages, towns and cities of England. After reading about each county, I want to pack the car and go there immediately. It's a Christmas pudding of a book, immensely rich' - Guy Browning, The Times
