From strange pubs with unusual drinking rituals to equally strange ceremonies involving singing to apple trees and a clown-dressed church, infamous graves with deep histories, and odd British upper-class history, ECCENTRIC BRITAIN appears in its 2nd updated edition to delight audiences both armchair and destination-bound with a special affection for British life and humor. The focus here is on local eccentric color and history and there's plenty to satisfy any with the thirst for the odd, making for a fanciful--but true--reading.
