Everything about Suffolk is unexpected: A New Suffolk Garland gathers the best writing, new and old, from people who love this special county.

Everything about Suffolk is unexpected.

For centuries it has been a much-loved place for writers, artists, musicians, fishermen, farmers ...
A New Suffolk Garland gathers the best writing, new and old, from people who love this
special county: from a twelfth-century monk to Ed Sheeran, through Gainsborough,
Dickens, W.G. Sebald, Ronald Blythe, Robert MacFarlane, Michael Ondaatje and Penelope Fitzgerald to Roger Deakin, Melissa Harrison and Helen Macdonald.
The anthology contains specially written new work by Craig Brown, Ralph Fiennes, India Knight, Olivia Laing, Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Robin Robertson and Lucy Walker.
From the art of hedge-laying to the undiscovered treasures of Suffolk's churches, from the Suffolk punch stable to Delia Smith's kitchen table, from swimming with otters in the River Waveney to the golden aurioles of Lakenheath, this new collection encapsulates all that is best about Suffolk.
