England on Fire

Praise

“Fascinating, vibrant, and overwhelmingly powerful, this is a unique look at England in its magical and rebellious glory … A LoveReading Star book, England on Fire is truly beautiful, it’s astute, inclusive, and absolutely magical.” - Liz Robinson, LoveReading.co.uk
 
“Ellcock resurfaces the work of a wide range of artists, from overlooked 19th century printmakers to female surrealists. In the place of sedentary lords and ladies, he offers saturnalia. In the place of haywains; standing stones, the Cottingley fairies and scenes from anti-fascist marches.” - India Bourke, New Statesman

“England On Fire will change the way you see England, not for showing anything new, but for showing you what has been there all along.” - Thomas Overlook, Exquisite Terror

“not just mind blowing, but mind defining – approaching the heights of epiphanic beauty … This deep, wild England also contains the euphoria of possibility – therein lies the importance and joy of this book, the pages of which mingle with our dreams.” - Richard Cabut, International Times

“England on Fire is definitely thought-provoking. As you flick through the pages, you really do get a sense of the subconscious and often poignant undercurrent of England’s ‘jousting and days out’ heritage.” – Love British History

“A fantastical wander through English art, customs and rituals […] an insightful visual map of a strange and fascinating world.” – Sinéad Gleeson
