Items related to North of Watford Gap
A long awaited new travel book from John Brown (remember 'Return to Oz'?) which explodes the myths held by many about the North of England. From the lush plains of Cheshire to the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, from Hadrian's Wall to Cumbria, Lancashire and Merseyside - John Brown skillfully picks away at the widely-held belief that all people 'North of Watford Gap' live in terraced houses, keep whippets and pigeons, and wear flat caps and clogs.

Review:
John Brown has a wicked eye for the absurd and his work is
obviously researched as well as funny. --BBC Collective
Praise for 'Return to Oz':
Once in a while you come across a book that lifts the spirit and brightens your day. This is one of those books. It details the original time spent by a young teenager in Australia, and the long overdue return, as the title suggests, to OZ.I found his descriptions of people and places enchanting, and the warmth with which he talks of Australia almost magical - this is a great travel book. --Peter Dunstan: Barnes and Noble Review
Praise for 'Return to Oz':
I have never been to Australia but this book has made me want to go. It describes Oz from a teenager's perspective and how it has changed over the ensuing years. I loved it. Reads like a who-dun-it, but it is about a boy's dream and an adult's reality. A great read.

John Brown was born in Manchester, England. His teenage years were spent in South Australia, a place that left a lasting impression on him and his attitude to life in general. On his return to the UK he became involved in the record industry, joining the sales and A&R team at EMI Records in Hayes Middlesex. Even in these earlier days there was always a strong desire to write, and he penned several independent articles on music and records. Jon's first published work was a series of books for children - The Original Teds. He has also written many articles on various subjects, and in 2008 he released a compilation of his work entitled Which Way Next? - although, following the success of his previous book Return to Oz, it's obvious that his first love will always be travel writing.
