The Walker's Anthology - Further Tales by Bryn Thomas

Following the success of The Walker's Anthology , The Railway Anthology, and The Cyclist's Anthology we're continuing this series with further short excerpts from the writings of famous literary figures on the subject of hiking, trekking and climbing around the world. In this fascinating anthology, Bryn Thomas has drawn on writings of more than 50 literary figures - Bill Bryson, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Dalrymple, Daniel Defoe, EM Forster, Amitav Ghosh, Graham Greene, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Eric Newby, JB Priestley, Bayard Taylor, Paul Theroux, Henry David Thoreau, Colin Thubron, Mark Twain and H.G. Wells among many others. This entertaining hardback anthology will appeal to hikers and armchair travelers alike and make the perfect gift.

The first edition of this book, written by Bryn Thomas, was shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Travel and Guide Book Awards. He founded Trailblazer in 1991 to publish a series of route guides for adventurous travelers, which has since grown to over 40 publications. This 9th edition has been completely edited and enlarged by Anna Kaminski, a Russian-UK national and guidebook writer who has previously worked for Lonely Planet and Rough Guides.
