Mad Dogs and Englishmen [Paperback] Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Ranulph Fiennes OBE, known for his remarkable polar expeditions, mountaineering and marathon running, here turns his attention to his own family and England's history. For 600 years, the Fiennes have lived in Broughton Castle in Oxfordshire, and through their story, Ranulph Fiennes offers 'a simplified squint at the history of my country, England, warts and all, from its beginnings until 1944 when I was born'.
