The Authorised Guide to Grunty Fen

£5.99

The Authorised Guide to Grunty Fen is the original, reliable guide to a hitherto forgotten corner of England where, despite all efforts by the authorities, a timeless way of life survives untarnished by progress. It’s a bleak, damp world often scourged by feral nuns, where nets of sprouts and railway sleepers can be used as currency, Road Kill Pie is a local delicacy but never tastes the same twice, the WI frequently host Brawn Mornings,  and the most common architectural feature is corrugated. ‘Makes paying an actual visit quite unnecessary or, indeed, desirable’ – The East Anglian Wayfarer
