The Icknield Way by Edward Thomas
In The Icknield Way, the poet and prose writer Edward Thomas draws us down one of England's most ancient paths, bringing together history and personal experience as he walks its route.
'The idea of the Icknield Way may conjure grandeur, but the Way as experienced and described by Thomas is varied, beautiful and ordinary, and it is precisely its everyday, changeable nature which makes it so wonderful' Jack Cornish
Edward Thomas (1878-1917) was a poet and writer. Educated in London and at Oxford, for many years he was a writer of books about the countryside and a book reviewer, before finding success as a poet. In 1915 he enlisted in the army and was killed at the Battle of Arras in 1917.
