Review
'A sensitive and, at times, moving survey of the relationship between place and writer' --Contemporary Review
'Scholarly but also interesting ... there should be enough to get you walking as well as reading'
--Metro
'A glorious tour, a personal appreciation of British writers and their love of landscape.' --Southern Reporter
'Drabble ... reads writers' localities, ancient and modern, with an understanding of social history as deep as her knowledge of literature' --The Times
'Drabble makes lively connections, parallels and distinctions ... one of the great pleasures of the book [is] its quotations, generous in length, pertinently chosen.'
--The Spectator
'An enthralling read'
--Wharfedale and Airedale Observer
