England, writes the author, is a living guide book to over two thousand years of civilisation. It is difficult to travel ten miles in any direction without coming across some aspect of English history, revealed to the observant by the contours of the field, the direction of the roads, or the survival of some ancient trackway. this is an excellent overview of England's history carefully reconstructing the past from the rich traces that remain - from the tumuli and forts of ancient Britons, through the Roman invasion, the manor houses of the medieval period to late Gothic and Tudor buildings.
