So it also has something in it of the journal, the writer's notebook; a little of the memoir and a little of the love-letter. You might call it the literary biography of a landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou may follow the walks on foot, with this book in your backpack perhaps, for those moments when walking must give way to reading, or you can follow them from within the deep comfort of a favourite armchair. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou will travel in it from west to east, from chalk plain to crag; from velvety farmlands muffled by leaves to deafening shingle and uncompromising sea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou will be in excellent company. The walkers who will join you along the way range from Daniel Defoe and Robert Louis Stevenson to Patricia Highsmith, Maggie Hemingway, Rebecca Solnit and Noreen Masud. They will include the poets George Crabbe, Robert Bloomfield, Algernon Swinburne, Stevie Smith and Blake Morrison; the literary greats Wilkie Collins, George Orwell and W. G. Sebald, who found a new native land here; and those born to it, such as M. R. James and Edward Fitzgerald. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll have their own thoughts, their own connections and reflections to add to the conversation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet us walk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacky Colliss Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56680179728757,"sku":"9781914982187","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4075\/2426\/files\/9781914982187.jpg?v=1769796107","url":"https:\/\/sherlockandpages.com\/products\/thoughtlands-walking-in-writers-suffolk-by-jacky-colliss-harvey-9781914982187","provider":"Sherlock \u0026 Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
