The
English
eccentric
is
under
threat.
In
our
increasingly
homogenised
society,
these
celebrated
parts
of
our
national
identity
are
anomalies
that
may
soon
no
longer
fit.
Or
so
it
seems.
On
his
entertaining
and
thought-provoking
quest
to
discover
the
most
eccentric
English
person
alive
today,
Henry
Hemming
unearths
a
surprisingly
large
array
of
delightfully
odd
characters.He
asks
what
it
is
to
be
an
eccentric.
Is
it
simply
to
thrive
on
creativity
and
non-conformity,
and
where
does
this
incarnation
of
Englishness
stem
from?
Hemming
concludes
that
this
tribe
is,
in
fact,
in
rude
health,
as
essential
as
ever
to
the
English
national
identity,
only
they
are
no
longer
to
be
found
where
you'd
expect them.
