Beschreibung

In "The Great North Road, the Old Mail Road to Scotland: London to York," Charles G. Harper delivers a richly detailed exploration of one of England's most historic thoroughfares. Written in a narrative style that weaves together personal reflection, historical anecdote, and vivid description, Harper captures the essence of travel along this ancient route. His work is not just a guide but an evocative tribute to the landscape, architecture, and social fabric that have evolved along the road connecting London to York, emphasizing the cultural significance of the journey as much as the destination. Charles G. Harper, an accomplished travel writer and illustrator renowned for his deep appreciation of British landscapes, is uniquely suited to unveil the character of the Great North Road. Harper's passion for exploration is evident in his meticulous research and engaging prose, reflecting the late Victorian era's burgeoning interest in the intersection of history and the emerging field of travel literature. His insights into the historical relevance of the postal routes provide a lens through which readers can view the evolution of British society. This book is an invaluable resource for historians, literature enthusiasts, and casual readers alike. Harper's work invites readers to embark on their own journey, unearthing the stories embedded in the terrain. It serves as both a travelogue and a historical document, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by Britain's rich past.

    This is a true story of riches to rags to riches, by one of Britain's most colourful entrepreneurs of the last 50 years. It records 70 years of British social and political history by someone who was there and was nicknamed 'Mr Death' by the media. Its backdrop is the taboo subject of death and the machinations of the funeral industry. It has amazing personal troughs and peaks that are described with the honesty of 'open-heart surgery' by a writer is encouraging you to 'give it a go'. It is pacey, racy, irreverent, tragic, uplifting but also completely true.
