Description

English Journey is a timeless account of a journey through England in 1933, written by celebrated writer and broadcaster J.B. Priestley.

Three years before George Orwell's famous journey to the North, Priestley set out to explore the country, capturing its landscapes, people, and changing attitudes. His book is a warm-hearted and intensely patriotic account of his travels, from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home.

English Journey is both a personal reflection and a call to arms, offering a profound and poignant portrayal of a nation in transition. Its influence can still be felt today, making it a book that remains as relevant now as it was nearly ninety years ago.
