“Surrey’s villages have adapted well to the patterns of twentieth century life; still retaining their character and charm.  They are a source of pride to villagers just as they were during the early part of the last century when Cobbett passed through on his Rural Rides.
The Surrey Village Book describes over 140 villages, recalling the history, people and events that have given each its particular flavour.  It is a book of rare delight, rich in atmosphere and anecdotes; a welcome companion whether on the bookshelf or in the car.”
