What's in a Surname?: A Journey from Abercrombie to… par David McKie
A lighthearted entertaining look at surname origins, patterns, trends and transformations through the ages. Some stunning examples of them.
This book proves that good travel books do not involve having to drag yourself through jungles or up mountains.
McKie takes himself on a route around the UK on a series of bus journeys, from around London, right up to the very north of the country. Along the way he recount the history of the area that he is travelling through, and gives his considered opinion of the state of those parts of the nation that he visits.
Really enjoyed it.
