This delightful anthology rounds up the most memorable walker-writers, from country hikers to urban strollers, from the rationalists to the truly outlandish. All of them analyse our need to put one foot in front of the other. Follow in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf, George Sand, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self, and dozens more.
The most notable extracts from great writers on walking are brought together here, featuring William Hazlitt, Rebecca Solnit, Will Self and many others.
