A Dutch correspondent's exploration of some of the quirkier sides of British culture, such as "ghosts, Druids, art auctions, steam trains and witches."
The author "went to the annual dinner of the Ghost Club, saw an 18-year-old girl being turned into a witch (third grade), learnt of marriages being broken up by steam engines, and came to the conclusion that, England does not exist - it is a state of mind". Adapted into English by Anke Brusse & Richard Boston. Illustrated.
