Recenzii

"A delicious read, an evocative tour of our heritage, and a past that, in some places at least, still remain in the present" Evening Standard "Charming" Choice "A wonderful follow-up to his excellent On The Slow Train ... The author weaves the strands of past times, and how the railways have changed, in with the details of the present day places wonderfully well ... Williams has a languid, charming, almost hypnotic style of writing which is well worth reading for the sheer pleasure of his language" Bookbag "One man's joyous account of his two-year, 30,000 mile quest to find Britain's most enchanting rail journeys" Daily Mail "Williams is an ardent train buff. and a first class journalist with a keen eye and gift for info-packed prose" Independent
