This author is so good with descriptions. She really brought England, especially the countryside, to life. I was very happy to see the title of her last chapter - "You Can Go Back Again." That is something I'm afraid of - that the trip I just took may be the only one. But I can go back again, and I will. I did the touristy thing on this trip. In the future, I'd rather do things a little more like this author.

From the back cover:
Though American often view England as an extension of the States, Susan Allen Toth knows differently. Where else could badgermania--and Royal mischief--still be taken so seriously? Ms. Toth brings this special England vividly to life as she recalls exploring the countryside, traveling both second-class and in luxury, theatre-hopping, ghost-hunting, and honeymooning. By turns humorous, bittersweet, and wonderfully eccentric, My Love Affair with England will be relished by every Anglophile and by those of us who dream of knowing another country as if it were our own.

A very nice book.
Susan Allen Toth writes with honesty about her life and her love for England.
And I fully understand what loving a foreign country by its literature means... Sometimes I had the impression the author was reading my mind!

I will try to let the book travel!
