About the Author

About the Authors A native of North Carolina, Darwin Porter was a bureau chief for the Miami Herald when he was 21 and was assigned to write the very first edition of a Frommer guide devoted solely to one European country. Since then, he has written numerous best-selling Frommer guides, notably to France, Italy, and Germany. In 1982, he was joined in his research efforts across England by Danforth Prince, formerly of the Paris bureau of The New York Times, who has traveled in and written extensively about England. Together, they are also the authors of Frommer's London, Frommer's England from $70 a Day, and Frommer's Scotland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, informative guide to England, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's England 2000 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

Most travel guides to Britain suffer from one of two drawbacks: either they cover too little {London and its environs} or they cover too much {Scotland and Wales as well as England}. This guide focuses exclusively on England {including generous coverage of London} and is thus ideal for those planning a genuinely English trip that includes cities and towns outside London as well as the countryside. It provides essential information {such as hours, prices, phone numbers, and accepted credit cards} and helpful reviews of many sites, accommodations, and restauraunts. Light on pictures but heavy on utility, it is organized according to region and has an exceptionally detailed index. Paricularly helpful are the sections on planning a trip and the online direcrory. Although I have been to England several times already, I still found this guide to be helpful in planning my upcoming trip--and I plan to take it with me!
