The Icknield Way

In The Icknield Way, originally
published in 1913, Edward Thomas walks one of the great ancient footpaths of
England, The Icknield Way, which runs from Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire
to Suffolk, and connects to the Great Ridgeway, and has a claim to be one of
Britain's oldest roads. In startling and evocative prose, Thomas recounts the
history of the path through the ages, tells us how it was established, the
people who have used it and takes us on a journey through time and place. One
of Thomas' great prose works, republished alongside Little Toller's editions of
The South Country and In Pursuit of Spring.
