Go Slow England is the first in a new series of large-format guides. Each of the special places featured is given four large pages (each page is 24 x 20 cm) filled with stunning colour photography and an interview with the owner. All the owners included enjoy life at its slowest and most enriching and you will discover an unusual emphasis on their inspirational lifestyles. You will meet farmers, literary people, wine-makers and craftsmen - all of whom embrace Slow Food and Slow Travel and have rich stories to tell. The guide celebrates fascinating people, fine architecture, history and landscape. It's the perfect counter-balance to our culture of haste.
“Wow, it's absolutely beautiful. I find myself gasping or nodding (or both) at whatever page I open to. This really is a triumph.”
Carl Honoré (author of In Praise of Slow)
“This is a guide for those who want to escape the humdrum hassle of everyday life and find havens of peace and contentment.”
The Bookseller
“I value local colour and flavour and the time in which to experience it... That is why I welcome Go Slow England and all who sail in it.”
