Beginning with an entry in the Domesday Book, the collection includes excerpts from such famous writers of the past as Defoe, Cobbett, Austen, Scott, Dickens, Trollope and Thackeray, as well as many lesser known ones, and a surprisingly large number of modern authors who have, in a sense, visited the town - from C Day-Lewis and Agatha Christie to Dick Francis and Howard Jacobson. Colour plates of striking and unusual images of Cheltenham also illustrate the text.
