A Texan in England is J. Frank Dobie's engaging and insightful chronicle of his time spent in England during World War II, where he served as a visiting professor at Cambridge University. Blending homespun wisdom with sharp cultural observation, Dobie brings a distinctly Texan voice to reflections on British society, wartime resilience, and the contrasts between American and English character. The result is both humorous and thoughtful, offering readers a unique lens on transatlantic relations during a pivotal historical moment. Dobie’s signature storytelling and folksy charm shine throughout, making this a distinctive work in the canon of American travel writing and wartime commentary.
