Description
England, Their England is an affectionately satirical comic novel first published in 1933. Written as if a travel memoir by a young Scotsman, it has endured as a humorous portrayal of life in 1920s England.
The plot follows Donald Cameron, who is forced to reside in England after his father's will and spends time researching the English from a foreigner's perspective. He consorts with journalists, attends a country house weekend, serves as private secretary to a Member of Parliament, and plays village cricket, resulting in one of the novel's most celebrated episodes.
The book ends in the ancient city of Winchester, where MacDonnell had gone to school. A notable aspect of the novel is its portrayal of a village cricket match, which has contributed to its enduring appeal.
