With the help of the Surrey edition of Nicklaus Pevsner's Guide to the Buildings of England, the novelist Michael Bracewell investigates the history of suburbia in a county he believes he knows like the back of his hand, but as he says - "How well do you know the back of your hand?" Surrey, as Pevsner points out, is "the back garden of England."
