A joyful, witty and heartfelt poetic journey around Britain - perfect for lovers of travel, nostalgia and the quirks that make this island unforgettable.
In Around Britain in Poems, Paul S Shaw invites readers on a warm and wonderfully observant tour of the nation's coastlines, landmarks, towns and hidden corners. Each poem captures the character of a place - its humour, its history, its people - with Shaw's signature blend of charm, clarity and gentle mischief.
From the bright bustle of Blackpool to the quiet dignity of the Cenotaph, from the rugged calm of Sennen Cove to the proud tradition of the Chelsea Pensioners, this collection celebrates the spirit of Britain in all its variety. Shaw's writing is accessible, vivid and full of heart, making this a book to savour, share and return to again and again.
Whether you're a poetry lover, a traveller, a history enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys a good laugh wrapped in lyrical storytelling, this collection offers a fresh, affectionate look at the places that shape us.
