Description:
London: Michael Joseph, 1983. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 304 pages with illustrations in the text by William Freeth. Map endpapers. The radio broadcaster and cook's book is about a summer bicycle ride diagonally across Britain - over 600 miles of Roman roads from Topsham in Devon to Musselburgh near Edinburgh. But the book is anything but straight: Tom Vernon flashes tantalising glimpses of individuals and places to make up a moving-picture of a people and their country. The effect is funny, pastoral, chatty, critical and quirky by turns - but always human. 13. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Illus. by Freeth, William. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
