Icons of England PDF - بيل برايسون

This collection of pieces celebrating rural England does not only focus on the rolling hillsides and spectacular landscapes that set England apart from the rest of the world. Many of the contributors bring their own special touch, with personal anecdotes and refreshingly original choices of icons representing what the English countryside really means to them. First published as a lavishly illustrated hardback, this new paperback edition has double the number of new contributions from many well-known figures, including a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales, an introduction by Bill Bryson, and pieces by Michael Palin, Eric Clapton, Bryan Ferry, Sebastian Faulks, Kate Adie, Kevin Spacey, Gavin Pretor-Pinney, Richard Mabey, Simon Jenkins, John Sergeant, Benjamin Zephaniah, Joan Bakewell, Antony Beevor, Libby Purves, Jonathan Dimbleby, and many more.
