Acclaimed novelist Barnes turns his characteristic wit toward both England and the experience of traveling. Business tycoon Sir Jack Pitman dreams of making a profit by recreating all of England's attractions -- from Big Ben to Stonehenge -- at the convenient scale of an amusement park (which is, incidentally, set on the Isle of Wight). A trenchant, entertaining critique that raises questions about tourism and British identity.
