Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A unique title from Bradt, showcasing a brand new collection of remarkable travellers' tales with a different slant, following on the heels of To Oldly Go!, one of the UK's best-selling travel titles of 2015. All the contributors were initially reluctant solo travellers, apprehensive about taking the plunge to go it alone after years of travel with a partner or friend. Some have embarked on the trip of a lifetime, walking or cycling alone through potentially hostile countries, but finding only kindness and hospitality - with a few hairy adventures thrown in. One story is by Bradt founder Hilary Bradt, who confronted her fears and set out to fulfil a childhood dream to ride a horse through Ireland shortly after her marriage broke up. Others are widows and widowers in their later years who were anxious about joining an organised trip on their own or who wanted to make a difference in the world by volunteering their experience and knowledge. Many ages, many personalities, one goal: to travel, and one stumbling block: anxiety. Part literature, part guide, with tips for successful solo travel. Reassuring, entertaining and inspiring.…

Bright front cover with minor edge and corner wear; light rubbing and small surface marks to rear cover. Clean, crisp interior pages and secure binding. Bilingual Welsh and English text with floral line drawings, historical engravings, and full-page black-and-white illustrations. Includes a seasonal gardening calendar, contents, introductory material, and acknowledgments. Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. A bilingual collection of nineteenth-century Welsh gardening advice, presenting extracts from Victorian household manuals with parallel English translations. The selections document everyday gardening practices in Wales, particularly the cultivation and maintenance of working people's gardens, kitchen gardens, and small domestic spaces. Organized into five sections: The Worker's Garden, The Year's Gardening, The Kitchen Garden, The Healthy Garden, and The Window Garden. The texts include seasonal gardening instructions, practical advice on cultivating vegetables and flowers, and the care and organization of household gardens. A historical record of domestic horticulture and the gardening knowledge available to Welsh households during the Victorian era. Compiled and edited by Kerry L. Barclay-Smith, the booklet draws on two nineteenth-century Welsh publications: Mrs. S. A. Edwards's Coginiaeth a Threfniadaeth Deuluaidd (1889), a household manual written for the wives of Welsh workers, and Thomas Thomas's Llyfr Pawb ar Bob Peth (Everybody's Book on Everything), a popular Welsh reference work covering practical aspects of everyday life. The original Welsh passages appear alongside English translations, preserving examples of Victorian Welsh prose while making the historical material accessible to English-speaking readers. The booklet also includes period engravings from the Henry Jones the Younger Collection at Glynllifon, floral drawings, and illustrations associated with North Wales gardens. Of interest to readers of British garden history, Victorian domestic and working-class life, Welsh cultural heritage, and historical horticultural practices.
