In Search Of The English Eccentric by Henry Hemming

grubstlodger's review against another edition

3.0

It was good fun reading about the interesting people, less fun reading the author's ham-fisted interpretations of the things he saw as he was trying to make the book seem much more important than it was. It is a throwaway book that feels itself to be a great treatise on nationhood and sociology and God knows what else.

Insightful, sensitive, amusing and thorough. A pleasant surprise.
