"Tucked into the deep hills of western Dorset, just off the major tourist routes across England, Chedington is so small that its handful of cottages doesn't even appear on some large-scale maps. Here, far from crowds that haunt Blenheim Palace, Stonehenge, Stratford-upon-Avon, or Haworth, I find the England of my dreams--quiet, pastoral, and sometimes endearingly eccentric...."
Join Susan Allen Toth as she takes you along on her fascinating journeys to London, to enchanting gardens, to a fairy-tale castle on the Cornish coast with a history-laden past--and to sights both hidden and known. With a novelist's eye for detail and an intrepid traveler's love of adventure, Ms. Toth reveals the secrets of impeccable preparation, while leaving plenty of room for surprising discoveries. And ever practical, she offers her experience on how to keep a travel journal, how to be your own travel agent, how much time to allow for your visits, as well as the pleasures of bed-and-breakfasts, supermarket souvenirs, and hidden gardens in the city of London. Lively, trenchant, personal, and above all, entertaining, England As You Like It puts the armchair and real-life traveler under the wing of a seasoned and multitalented tour guide.
"A delightfully written book full of anecdotes and tips, lived and learned by the author. Toth's personable style makes readers feel as though they are actually traveling with her through the charming corners and coves of Great Britain."
--The Toronto Sun

From Library Journal:
Those familiar with Toth's My Love Affair with England (LJ 8/92) will readily acknowledge her charming, conversational writing style. Her new book is an excellent combination of guide and autobiographical travel writing that will benefit both armchair and potential travelers while entertaining them at the same time. Toth is a strong believer in planning one's own itinerary; her "thumbprint theory of travel" encourages leisurely travel and well-planned exploration of small areas. To enforce this concept, she gives readers a collection of travel essays that recap journeys to Padstow, Helston, and Chedington in England as well as Gairloch and Nairn in Scotland. She concludes with highlights of eight of her favorite destinations. What is most striking about Toth's book is her ability to weave a wealth of information throughout a highly readable text. Recommended as a worthwhile addition to any library travel section.
