Lost Villages: In Search of Britain's Vanished Communities
Very nice if your idea of "history" is really "nostalgia".
It's more of a lament, than an informative book about villages that have been lost, destroyed or abandoned. Such a shame because the subject matter is very interesting.
It's a veiled discourse on how awful it is that things are changing in the British Isles, that a perceived "British" way of life is dying out, being destroyed or abandoned, like the villages.
I got the impression that the author is to history what Prince Charles is to architecture (and history!).
