'Exquisitely dotty, yet irresistibly charming. A project so pointless as to be vital to our national well-being.' Stephen Fry
'A champion of all things Z? Observer Travel Book of the Week
'A jocular guide ? Dixe Wills has boldly gone to these backs of beyond to prove that we don?t need to? Sunday Telegraph
Think for a moment what life is like for the letter Z. Largely neglected, it skulks at the tail of the alphabet, buzzing fitfully.
Regrettably, the same fate is shared by the 41 places in Britain that begin with the alphabet's clammiest squib. Zabulon, Zeals, Zoar, Zouch et al. - their glories lie crushed beneath Obscurity's heel.
Not before time, The Z-Z of Great Britain provides an essential profile of each and every Z-bound locale. Answering the critical questions - where are they, who lives in their green bins, and what they did in the Civil War - Dixie Wills provides the ultimate guide to Britain you hardly dared believe existed.
