Description
Celia Fiennes' 3,000-mile journey across England in 1697 was a remarkable feat for a woman of her time. In fact, it's unlikely she would have been allowed to undertake such a venture without significant challenge.
Despite the dangers and hardships she faced, including poorly maintained roads, unsanitary lodgings, and highwaymen lurking in woods, Celia kept a detailed diary of her travels. This account provides valuable insights into England 320 years ago, revealing the courage, determination, and curiosity of one woman who was ahead of her time.
Derek Taylor's book follows Celia Fiennes' route, offering a unique perspective on the past through her eyes.
