There is no one else who is writing like Andrew Martin today...unique and important * Guardian * Iconoclastic, entertaining and often devastatingly witty -- Barry Forshaw on Andrew Martin * Independent * He can stop you in your tracks with a well-turned phrase * Sunday Times * A genuinely funny writer...also a daring one * The Times * Very funny and touching... Martin is a journalist and novelist with splendid observational skills and a warm, comic touch, and he spots regional characteristics others have missed...Delightful and unexpected facts abound: who knew that the London Tube map was allegedly inspired by York's medieval street pattern? * Daily Mail * Martin guides up through the geography of God's Own Country , but also writes amusingly about the blunt pithiness associated with a place that shows 'the merest glimmer of humour, like a small spark struck from a flint' * TLS *
