Reviews

This is a real eye opener of a book and one I would recommend to anyone -- Harri Roberts * Outdoor Focus Magazine * Path to enlightenment: how walking inspires writers -- Billy Mills * The Guardian * A brisk history of why and in what ways writers have walked -- David Sexton * Evening Standard * Coverley's approach is an enlightening one. Covering an astounding amount of material, both well-known and cult writers feature with equal prominence; from Baudelaire, Blake, Whitman and Rimbaud, to the lesser-known Papadimitriou and Walser -- Declan Tan * Huffington Post UK * Splendid, scholarly and suffused with evocative stories and biographical sketches, Coverley's book not only proffers pleasure and diversion but also potently explores the historical significance of the art of walking * Booklist *
