Britain’s most eccentric corners brought to life in book form – following the popular TV series
This book is a response to the deluge of requests Lucinda Lambton received to encapsulate the findings of her popular TV programme, The Alphabet of Britain. Beginning with A for Art Nouveau, B for Belfast, and so on, she escorts us on a riotous rampage round the country from the gravestones of a pair of beloved rats, called Disraeli and Gladstone, to a pulpit in the shape of a boat in a Belfast church; from a bomb-proof art deco theatre in the Midlands to a fully automatic orchestra on the Isle of Rhum.
Fully illustrated with her own photographs, and written in her inimitable style, it revels in hidden marvels – Mrs Thatcher painted on the wall of a Buddhist temple, a full-size waxen figure sitting in a Norfolk church, and the glories in and around Heathrow.
Lucinda Lambton is a tireless guide for lovers of all the historical curios, whether rural or urban, that Britain has to show and her army of fans will be thrilled by this collection of her indomitable exploits and Betjemanesque adventures.
