Synopsis
The diaries of Henry Peerless provide a fascinating insight into one of the most important social trends of the past 150 years: the rise of mass tourism following the coming of the railway.
For thirty years Henry peerless travelled all round the British Isles and beyond, by horse-drawn carriage, steam-train, steam-ship, bicycle and motor-car. The daily record of his journeys is not just a lively travelogue from a vanished world. it also paints an unforgettable picture of a whole class of people striving for diversion and pleasure at a time of unprecedented and cataclysmic change.
