<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'This is not a memoir, exactly.' It is 'a declaration of love for a country.' So begins <em>England Revisited</em>. With exuberance, honesty and quick-witted charm, Helle Libenholt embarks on a personal and cultural exploration of Englishness from her Danish perspective. From pubs, Shakespeare, Freddy Mercury and P's and Q's to afternoon tea, The Tube, Stephen Fry, football, Jane Austen, Pimm's, the unrivalled British sense of humour and much more. Through it all threads her one true love: English literature. </p><p><br></p><p>But she considers also Kierkegaard, the Viking presence in the UK, the mysterious lack of a word for 'please' in Danish, and wonders if Danes are actually a kind of hobbit. </p><p><br></p><p>Part memoir, part travelogue, part essays - the Bill Bryson for bibliophiles - <em>England Revisited</em> is an engaging, entertaining tribute to the quirks and eccentricities of a country with which the author has had a quiet (if one-sided) love affair all her life. Libenholt provides new insights into familiar topics that will captivate and educate Britons, fellow Danes and Anglophiles anywhere.</p>
