Von der hinteren Coverseite

'A fascinating attempt to find the sources of Englishness . . . Well-crafted, reflective and quite personal, The Last Wolf is also original and deeply researched' Robert McCrum, Guardian

What sort of a place is England? And who are the English? As the United Kingdom turns away from its European neighbours and begins to look increasingly disunited at home, it is becoming necessary to ask what England has that is singular and its own.
