Review:

A beautiful lighthearted romp through the England between the wars.

Meet Mr. Finchley, a solicitor’s clerk who has never taken a holiday. Suddenly with three weeks vacation and 40 pounds in his pocket he embarks to the seaside but ends up having a series of of extraordinary adventures throughout the length and breadth of “his England”.

It’s a light romp but it captures in prose the beauty and simplicity of English country life.

This book made me want to: eat cooked breakfasts more often
