«Elegant and moving - a classic elegy.»
Melvyn Bragg, Independent
«Lovers of England and the English will find themselves reading this long farewell with constant exclamations of agreement and flashes of new understanding...The most powerful and touching parts of it are snatches of Scruton's own autobiography.»
Peter Hitchens, Express on Sunday
