Bog beskrivelse

‘This book confirms the splendid eccentricity of the British, which often involves oddly dressed men opting to walk long distances for no apparent reason.’BBC Countryfile Magazine

Laws’ sprightly, often arch, account of Britain’s hiking heroes is a pleasure to read.’Walk Magazine

''The great affair is to move: to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot,'' wrote Robert Louis Stevenson. This book celebrates the history of walking for leisure and pleasure.

There’s no shortage of the famous, and the not-so-famous, exponents of a good, long walk: Dr Jonson and his faithful Boswell on their Hebridean jaunt; John Taylor, whose Penniless Pilgrimage – a record of his 1618 journey from London to Edinburgh – provided the first account of a walking tour; and Samuel Coleridge who conceived his epic tale of the Ancient Mariner on a ramble through Devon. Celebrating the history of walking for leisure and pleasure, Bill Laws tells the stories behind key walking inventions such as the rucksack, bloomers, youth hostels and the long-distance route.

Fully illustrated throughout, A Ramble Through the History of Walking is sure to delight anyone interested in the engaging history of one of man’s favourite pastimes.
