Edward Thomas walks the prehistoric Icknield Way in daily stages, from Thetford by Newmarket, Royston and Baldock to the Chilterns and Streatley on the Thames. Along the route he weighs history, myth and conjecture about the track, notes inns, churches and gravestone names, and records weather, birds and his own restless moods, all opening with a characteristically personal dedication.
A quiet, beautiful prose work by one of the finest English poets of the First World War generation. Download the free EPUB.
