Críticas:
'Original and beautifully written... the celebration that the Essex diaspora has been waiting for... filled with genuine feeling for Essex people and places'
GUARDIAN
'Those who think Essex is boring would require only one or two chapters of [Excellent Essex] to tell them how wrong they are... Darley has a fine sense of history and an appreciation of architecture and landscape, and all this comes through in her fact-packed and often entertaining book, which succeeds in making one believe that Essex really is a special and unusual place'
THE SPECTATOR
'A delightful new biography of Essex... akin to barrelling through Essex lanes in an open-topped sports car while Darley swigs from a hip flask yelling "Ask me anything"'
OBSERVER
'A loving treatment of a slice of England made schizophrenic by the "pull and push" of London ... [Essex] will now be a little less misunderstood'
LITERARY REVIEW
'A sort of revelation... a generally stellar performance'
Jonathan Meades, HISTORY TODAY
'A sparkling progress of personal anecdote, witty commentary and discreetly footnoted history... Even if you've never been there, you may find yourself reading passages out loud and dreaming of Epping Forest -- or even Butlin's'
COUNTRY LIFE
<'Darley illuminates the landscape and its inhabitants, revealing how generations of people wanting to escape social conventions and limitations have been drawn to those vast, open horizons. The book is as thrillingly eclectic as Essex itself.'
FRANCIS WHEEN
'Is Essex excellent? My Kentish origins prevent me from agreeing. But Darley's account of an eccentric, eclectic and extreme county is excellently delivered.'
RIBA
'An omnivorous miscellany: a gathering of vastly diverse anecdotes, observations and historical footnotes, hung together in a delightfully token attempt at categorisation and order... A pleasure to read'

IN PRAISE OF ENGLAND'S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD COUNTY
It's time we talked about Essex.
It's the county everyone's heard of; the place few of us know. Gillian Darley takes us on a vivid, personal tour, from the seaside piers to the empty marshes and the New Town tower blocks, revealing a landscape and a story like no other.
Alongside Essex Man and TOWIE, there's the Essex that nurtured the first Puritan settlers in America, welcomed refugees from Europe, fugitives from the underworld and bombed-out East Enders. Where dreamers and makers, punk poets, anarchist sects and inventors all found inspiration.
A Colchester nurseryman was the first to trade with a secretive Eastern Kingdom. Braintree's only earthquake inspired an innovative building system. In Epping, a spat over firewood led to an historic victory for the common people. In Essex, the clash between city and countryside, capital and province, created a shower of sparks that ultimately set the world on fire.
Drawing on everything from ancient maps to reality tv, EXCELLENT ESSEX is no guide book, but a wonderful guide to England's most misunderstood county.
