.The Lost Village: In Search of a Forgotten Rural England
Search: England
by: Richard Askwith

April 03, 2008
This is a wonderful book that should be read by anyone who cares about the decline of English rural life. It's an account of a journey through the English countryside in search of 'real' country people and communities who still have roots in the past and the local landscape. (The author captures an amazing array of voices of rural old-timers - farmers, poachers, fishermen, smallholders, gamekeepers, huntsmen, etc) But what really stays with you is the Askwith's voice, which is by turns poetic, melancholy and amusing.

.Three Men in a Float: Across England at 15 Mph
Search: England
by: Dan Kieran, Ian Vince

May 01, 2008
A very funny, and fascinating story of three men crossing England in an electric milk float. I loved the radio 4 programme about their trip but having read the book it seems that barely scratched the surface of their month-long journey. A top read.

.Every Mother's Nightmare: The Murder of James Bulger
Search: England
by: Mark Thomas

February 01, 2006
I read this book as part of my degree course and I didn't realise what an impact it would have on me....it moved me. The author has written a detailed story of what happened to James Bulger from when he was at the Strand with Denise to when his body was found. But thankfully and sensitively he has left out the horrific details of James' injuries. With that in mind this book is still difficult to read. It takes you on a roller coster ride of events that the family of James experienced and left me very distressed at some points. Please be aware this book is not for the faint- hearted but nontheless is a fascinating book.
