English by Ben Fogle

What makes the English English? Is it their eccentricity, their passionate love (or, indeed, hatred) of Marmite or is it something less easily defined?

‘A pleasant and lyrical read’ Guardian

‘Written with wit and affection, this light-hearted, yet
stirring narrative entertains and inspires with equal measure’ Countryside Magazine

Praise for Ben Fogle:

‘Funny, entertaining and really rather inspiring, too’ Daily Mail

'A great escapade told with refreshing frankness' Independent on Sunday

‘Passionate and well-researched’ Tatler

‘Fogle's typical adventure-style storytelling keeps the narrative light and entertaining’ Independent

Ben Fogle is the quintessential Englishman. An explorer, he loves Marmite and dogs. He owns far too many wax jackets and Wellington boots and he loves to grumble about the weather. He often apologises and can be found at the back of most queues. He had wonky teeth until the dentist sorted them out. He drives an old Land Rover and eats fish and chips. He never travels without some English tea. He lives in London with his wife Marina, his two children Ludo and Iona and his beloved black Labrador, Storm (of course).
