Sauntering: Writers Walk Europe

This latest collection of walking literature from Notting Hill Editions celebrates the allure of the Continent.

On foot the world comes our way. We get close to the Continent's alpine ranges, arterial rivers, expansive coastlines. Close to its ancient cities and mysterious thoroughfares
and close to the walkers themselves--the Grand Tourers and explorers, strollers and saunterers, on their hikes and quests, parades and urban drifts.

Sauntering features sixty walker-writers--classic and current--who roam Europe by foot. Twenty-two countries are traversed. We join Henriette d'Angeville, the second woman to climb Mont Blanc
Nellie Bly roaming the trenches of the First World War
Werner Herzog on a personal pilgrimage through Germany
Hans Christian Andersen in quarantine
Joseph Conrad in Cracow
Rebecca Solnit reimagining change on the streets of Prague
and Robert Macfarlane dropping deep into underground Paris.
