England was once a Catholic country.

Join best-selling author and Tolkien expert Joseph Pearce on a journey into the real ‘Shire’—a voyage into the mysterious presence of an England which is more real than the one we are accustomed to–the one that was Catholic, filled with Saints and a faithful daughter of the Church. That is, the one which is now in terminal decline.

The England Pearce wants us to know is an enchanted and unchanging place, full of ghosts who are as alive as the saints. It is an England that is rural, sacramental, liturgical, local, beautiful . . . a place charged with God.

In this wonder-filled journey, Joseph Pearce shows us the true England through the splendour of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. He shows us an England that can never die, not because it lingers like a fading coal in the memory of mortal men, but because it exists as a beautiful flower in the Gardens of Eternity.
