Unofficial Britain’s Weird & Eerie Landscape Reads of 2020

WORDS: Gareth E. Rees

As a father of two young children, with a hyperactive cocker spaniel, a day job, and a second career as an author, I don’t get as much time to read books as I’d like, even in the best of times. During the ‘pandemic year’ I had to complete the final edits of my latest book, Unofficial Britain, while working, home schooling kids and indulging in my anxiety coping mechanisms

Gareth Rees liked Roland Lopez's review of Unofficial Britain: Journeys Through Unexpected Places: "This is definitely where you end up having listened to far too much Frank Zappa. A unique and enthralling account of a unbwoken Bwitain in segments. Strange read, strange chap. Always good to be strange, it keeps things in perspective. Barfco Swill. "
