From Aintree to York: Racing Around Britain
Stephen Cartmell
Writer and psychologist Stephen Cartmell set off to explore Britain using the cultural melting pot of the UK’s 60 racecourses as his staging posts. During his travels the author observed the frequent absurdity of the British, the peculiarities of their institutions and developed a satirical critique of one of the country’s favourite pastimes. With his acute eye for observation, an appreciation of the ridiculous and the ability to find humor even in the face of petty officialdom, this acclaimed book is not simply a travelogue of racing but a key to understanding Britain and its curiously comical inhabitants. Racegoer, traveler or first time visitor, Stephen Cartmell’s colorful stories are sure to entertain.
