This large format quality magazine is attractive and well-produced. It mostly celebrates the England of between the wars and just after WW2. Don't confuse this with a BRITISH magazine; it is definitely English and proud of it, and champions English values and customs of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's and takes a strong anti-Europe stand. It is well written and illustrated but is published only four times a year. Don't forget St George's Day on April 23! If you don't know who St George is, you may not appreciate this quarterly . . .

This magazine subscription is a birthday gift for my Mother. She loves the magazine and when she's done with it she passes it along to an English lady in a local nursing home who also raves about it. My only problem is that it takes so long to receive the first copy. Why sixteen weeks?

This magazine is an outstanding summary of life in current England with comment on the effect that the EU is having (or trying to have) on traditional life of England. Also there are lots of historical comments and stories of days gone by - much missed - and interesting articles on places and people. All in all an ideal magazine for ex-pats and Anglophiles everywhere.

This is a great flag-waving rah rah British quarterly. The problem I have with it is they also get religious at times in some features going on about Christianity and the church etc. As a non-Christian I find that objectionable and would rather they stick to the topic of the country, the people and all that and just an occasional mention of the church as a small part of it. Remember recent surveys show less than 17% of British folks attend church weekly, compared with over 50% of Americans. If they'd stay out of the religious stuff I'd give them 5 stars as the rest of the content is first-rate! I also take this same firm's other quarterly called Evergreen. It has the same problems but it is still worth the money as well if you are an Anglophile!

We received This England Magazine gift subscription for years from one of my husband's friends, who lives in England, and always read it from cover to cover. When Amazon announced their magazine department, I was so happy to see This England and it is much more reasonable from Amazon than from the publisher (probably due to shipping charges).

Way to go , Amazon! I have ordered other magazines subscriptions and Amazon prices are good!

I was quite dissappointed that I could not order this magazine to be delivered in Canada. It is a beautiful magazine and my Mother would have loved this as a gift. Very dissappointed.
