Out Today - 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen: A year of things to see and do in England'

Excuse the rather shameless selling, but your author's new book is officially released today, and he couldn't let it pass without mentioning that 'Mad Dogs & Englishmen: A year of things to see and do in England' will be on the shelves of shops around the country this morning, once again featuring beautiful illustrations by Hannah Warren and design by Lottie Crumbleholme.


Putting the book together was a thoroughly interesting experience, involving a lots of trips to far corners of our snug little nation, and seeing things that are worth talking about. We live in a fascinating part of the world, with some amazing things to see and do at any time of the year - not just when we're having a very welcome heatwave - and hopefully this book might help someone to discover something they haven't seen before.

The best way to buy the book is to ask for it in your local independent bookshop, or even one of the sometimes-struggling highstreet ones or buy one of the signed copies available from the fantastic Stanfords in Covent Garden. Otherwise it is available from the usual online retailers.  If you were to go to the shops right now and get one you could be sat in a deckchair in the sunshine reading it by noon...
