Following "Root Into Europe" - his fact-finding mission into the ways of foreigners - Henry Root, retired wet-fish merchant and pillar of Esher society, turns his attention to Britain. He catalogues many of the people, places and things which he believes make Britain great.

Conveniently arranged in alphabetical order, from Abstractions (you'll find them on the Continent, of course') to Weather, Root Around Britain tells the story of a quest. A quest for the essence of Englishness; a quest for a new television series which Mr Root can sell to the fat man in Birmingham; a quest for a peerage and the right way to pay for it ('old money' or 'new money'?); and, finally, a quest for the means to humiliate a nosy neighbour. What could be more English than that?

William Donaldson is the eminence grise behind Root Around Britain, as he was behind The Henry Root Letters, The Further Letters of Henry Root, Henry Root's World of Knowledge and Root into Europe.
