William Camden’s Britannia was the first absolute exploration of Britain, an audit of our island as had never been done before. It was the 16th century’s definitive guide to Great Britain.

Nicholas Crane’s Britannia is the new definitive guide, an examination of Great Britain through the eyes of an exciting pioneer, leaving no aspect of our island undiscovered. As Crane follows in Camden’s footsteps, navigating the spectacular journey through the four countries of the UK, he uncovers the secrets from the past and discovers the intrinsic relationship between the landscape and its inhabitants through time. With only his umbrella for company, Crane brings Britannia into the 21st century.
