The introduction begins with a fascinating analysis of roads in general, telling of connections between settlements, and of England's early occupation by the Angles and the Saxons. Travel among peasants was rare, and even as late as the 16th Century travel remained unpopular to all but the very rich. This, for good or bad, is no longer the case, with hundreds of thousands of cars using the A272 every day.
The book's layout is a little confusing, with each page divided into five sections. Columns to the left and right contain notes (biographical details, stories, poems, technical terms), the upper and lower sections describe sights found up to seven miles north and south of the road respectively, while the central section describes a high-spirited journey along the road itself. Although the subject matter might not initially appeal, Boogaart's enthusiasm is infectious. Colour photographs illustrate every page, showing sights as varied as Wisborough Green church, the gardens of Nymans and the Cheesefoot Head crop circles.--Daren King
