This is a wonderful evocative little book celebrating some of the finest, idiosyncratic pubs in Britain. 'Chosen from villages large and small all over the country, each pub promises good beer, interesting surroundings and individuality. Some fulfil the traditional picture of a village pub - creeper-clad, whitewashed exterior with small latticed windows, and large inglenook fireplaces, ancient beams and oak settles within; others are rumoured to be haunted or boast a literary or artistic heritage; some are of architectural interest; and yet more brew their own beer in the time-honoured way.' Beautiful photography by Homer Sykes.
