**_The Arts Dividend Revisited_ encourages us to consider our country’s innate creativity
and the invaluable rewards to be gained from the public investment that enables 
the arts, museums and libraries to be a part of everyone’s lives, no matter who 
they are or where they live. **

The result of a non-stop five-year journey across the length and breadth of England,
Darren Henley reflects on our remarkable national cultural landscape from Cumbria
to Kent and from Cornwall to Northumberland – and why he believes that public investment
in creativity and culture can help us all to lead happier lives.
