Luckily I'm a fast reader, so I mashed my way through the last third of the book in a few fevered reading sessions!įascinating that Kevin Cahill’s review of our country’s land ownership is so hard to track down much of its subject matter was dealt with previously by The Return of Owners of Land, published in 1872, and which has been pretty comprehensively erased from public knowledge for the last century or so. When, after three weeks, I went online to extend my borrowing period, I was informed I couldn't do so as another reader was waiting for it. It duly arrived, obviously much-handled, and much annotated in the margins. I didn't have the funds to shell out for the cheapest second-hand copy advertised on Amazon, but fortunately Kent Libraries had a copy. It was published by Canongate in 2001 and is now out of print. I first came across mention of Kevin Cahill's book Who Owns Britain when I was reading George Monbiot's Feral, and I made a mental note then to read it sometime.
