A beautiful collection in which 20 outstanding writers set out with old memories to find new adventures. Ingrid Persaud and Agnès Poirier consider the rituals of pilgrimage and protest marches. Kamila Shamsie writes of Karachi. On the shores of Foulness Island, Will Self hopes to avoid landmines. In a forest north of Berlin Jessica Jay Lee gets soaked then lost, and pacing around Delhi, Keshava Guha is interrupted by a husky dog. 'During the pandemic of 2020' he writes, looking back, 'he was the only thing I hugged.' Stories to dip into from all walks of life, together they capture the magic and opportunity that walking had to connect us with our surroundings and free us from our worries, raise our heartrate and relax our mind. This collection will lead us across historic ground and inspire new thinking and other writers include Tim Parks, Nicholas Shakespeare, Richard Ford and Patrick Gale.
