by Lesley Choyce (Author)
Lesley and Linda Choyce travel through England with their West Highland terrier, Kelty, combining road-trip memoir with curiosity about history, culture and eccentric places.
Around England with a Dog follows two experienced Canadian travellers as they set out to explore a country that has long fascinated Lesley Choyce. Their route expands beyond England into Wales and Scotland, with the journey shaped as much by conversations, meals and odd detours as by famous sites.
Kelty gives the trip an additional complication and comic rhythm. The couple search for historical stories, small destinations, good food and places that feel different from conventional tourism itineraries, all while remaining connected to family events unfolding back in Canada. Choyce approaches the United Kingdom as an interested outsider rather than as a guidebook authority.
The result is informal travel writing with a strong personal voice, suited to readers interested in England and Britain, humorous memoir, road trips, dog lovers and armchair travel. It is a journey through curiosity rather than a checklist of attractions.
