"Daeschner travels the United Kingdom in search of all things eccentric and extraordinary.... In his world, this is certainly cause for celebration..."

"Absurd yet intriguing... An insightful travel narrative in the tradition of Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island"
THE LIBRARY JOURNAL      Read the review in full

"An obsessive, down-and-dirty travelogue... Daeschner's forays into cussed British culture blur the lines between past and present. And his plunging into the bog to witness tradition in the making means we don't have to. He clearly passes the dope test."
TIME Magazine      Read the review in full

"In 'The Ordeal of Young Tuppy', PG Wodehouse describes a football game between two villages... JR Daeschner, an American who has lived here for 10 years, writes vividly about the real thing."

"This book is so good, you can open it anywhere and find something interesting."
LBC RADIO    James O'Brien

THE DUG OUT SPORTS SHOW

A mix of humorous anecdote and interesting analysis, True Brits has obvious appeal
THE BOOKSELLER

WANDERLUST MAGAZINE      Read the review in full

BBC Radio
