From Yorkshire to Swindon, Liverpool to Norfolk, and in every corner of London, England' s illustrious pub culture is celebrated with stunning photography and captivating texts by one of the country' s preeminent travel writers. "There is nothing that has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern," wrote Samuel Johnson. Three centuries on, the English pub remains the ultimate happy place for those seeking refuge, recreation, or refreshment. But pubs today constitute a broad church, with old-school saloons and ultimate locals joined by modern reimaginings of traditional hostelries and Michelin-starred gastro-temples. This book brings together 33 of England' s finest and most distinctive inns, from Yorkshire dining destinations to Cornish beer shrines. Acclaimed photographer Horst A Friedrichs and renowned writer Stuart Husband capture these places in all their idiosyncratic glory and infinite variety: the pub as artistic statement, social hub, foodie pilgrimage site, personal fiefdom of legendary landlords and landladies, or repository of history. But all pubs share the same time-honoured purpose: to offer the warmest of welcomes, and to lift the spirits. AUTHOR: Stuart Husband is a Brighton-based travel journalist whose work has appeared in Monocle, Four Seasons, the Telegraph, Observer, Sunday Times, and the Independent.
