American-born Paul Theroux had lived in England for 11 years when he realized he'd explored dozens of exotic locations without discovering anything about his adopted home. So, with a knapsack on his back, he set out to explore by walking and by short train trips. The result is a witty, observant and often acerbic look at an ever eccentric assortments of Brits in all shapes and sizes.

      Listening to this unabridged recording of Theroux's journey conveys the leisurely pace essential to the writer's observations and adventures. The title is not new, and this enhances one's sense of glimpsing a place in time. What will be particularly interesting to avid listeners is that this narration occured early in Keith's career. There's no mistaking his clear, softened British tones. However, he has matured and taken his craft to a higher plane. His style suits the Theroux journey; he's an excellent guide for the circumnavigation of Great Britain, offering each of the regional accents with distinction. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
