I expected something similar to Three Men in a Boat or Mr. Finchley Takes the Road and the premise of four men walking from pub to pub in Sussex with their anecdotes sounded attractive. Unfortunately the narrative is killed stone dead by leaden dialogue and dull characterization. The odd amusing moment, but I reached the end with some relief. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Four men--Myself, Grizzlebeard, The Sailor, and The Poet--wander through the Sussex of 1902. Their comical adventures and perceptions celebrate the vanishing landscape of unspoilt rural England and a lifestyle soon to become obsolete. The four characters are all personifications of aspects of Belloc's own nature. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I enjoyed encountering passages such as: We looked northward to the hill of Mayfield, where St. Dunstan pulled the Devil by the nose; and they keep the tongs wherewith he did it in Mayfield to this day. And: In Sussex , let me tell you, we have but one cheese, the name of which is CHEESE. ( )
