Book Comments

'I Never Knew That About England is a smashing little book'


'What a fascinating book! Christopher Winn and his wife are to be congatulated on producing a book on England that is a refreshing change from the usual travel books on the diverse delights of our country. The illustrations greatly complement the text. It is a book I will treasure.'


'I have just finished reading your wonderful I Never Knew That About England. What a great book. I now want to visit every place and see for myself. The illustrations are excellent.'


'...extraordinary information that will inspire visits to some of the less touristy bits of Britain'


'Wonderful! Don't have much time to read except before dropping off so books that can be relied upon to entertain wherever you dip into them are perfect. And this one is the best I've come across. The bit about 'Thankful Villages' (Yorkshire) actually stopped me dropping off last night and I can't stop thinking about it. What a way to end an already superb piece of work. Well Done ! England isn't going down the tubes quite yet.'


Thanks for your comments!
