Special Offa by Bob Bibby
As Bob walks the length of Offas Dyke, he whisks us back to discover the past and meet the villains, heroes and madmen that the dyke has been witness to across the ages. He takes us through the towns and villages that have sprung up close by and reveals their ancient secrets and folklore.
"A wonderful read: witty, unsentimental and full of unforgettable thumbnail sketches of the people and places" Shropshire Review "Bob Bibby's writing is reminiscent of Bill Bryson; he has a dry wit and a keen perception of detail that highlights the ordinary and elevates it." Canal and Riverboat
