Publisher's Synopsis

"The most fun I have ever had with dead bodies."—Bill Bryson

In this riveting and often hilarious book—part travelogue and part social history—Ann Treneman visits the most interesting graves in Britain. You'll meet prime ministers, queens and kings, highwaymen, scientists, mistresses, writers, painters, poets, rakes and rogues, victims, the meek and mild, and the just plain mad.

At times absurd, at times poignant, Finding the Plot is an entertaining guide to the Anglo-Saxon underworld.

Ann Treneman was born in Iowa City but grew up in McMinnville, Oregon. She now lives in London where she is parliamentary sketchwriter for the Times newspaper.
