Books About Britain

OVER THE YEARS, BH has reviewed an eclectic variety of new books on the history and culture of our green and pleasant land. There are classics on the bookshelf, however, that we would like to recall as well. Beginning with this issue, we will look at books many of our readers voted the 10 most British books of all time. We commence at number 10, with Thomas Hardy’s evocative tragedy of 19th-century Dorset, The Mayor of Casterbridge.

Last Orders, Please!
