Harper follows the road north from London through Hertfordshire to Cambridge, then across the drained fens to the cathedral city of Ely and on to the port of King’s Lynn. Along the way he tells of coaching days, inns, colleges and churches, the draining of the fens, Hereward and the fenmen, local eccentrics and the customs and sayings of the country.
