4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas fare for all year, Sep 12 2010

By Patricia Olds - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: I Never Knew That About England (Hardcover)

Christopher Winn's book, I Never Knew That About England, is a little classic. Yes, I, too, received it as a Christmas present but it's far too good to be confined to the festive season.

It's one of those 'dip in and out' books that satisfies one's insatiable need for words when there isn't time to settle down to a long read. You can pick it up at any time, in passing. I have been known to do just that, stopping at the top of the stairs, where I'd last put it down, entirely forgetting that I had been in the process of making a cup of tea! It tickles the fancy with odds and ends of facts one could never have guessed at. It inspires you to go avisiting places you'd never thought of.

I have only one caveat. We need another book to complement it. There just isn't enough in this one book.
