In The Icknield Way, originally published in 1913, Edward Thomas walks one of the great ancient footpaths of England. The Icknield Way runs from Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire to Suffolk, connects to the Great Ridgeway, and has a claim to be one of Britain's oldest roads.
In startling and evocative prose, Thomas recounts the history of the path through the ages, tells us how it was established, and introduces us to the people who have used it over the centuries. The result is a captivating journey through time and place that brings this ancient route vividly to life.
One of Thomas' great prose works, republished alongside Little Toller's editions of The South Country and In Pursuit of Spring.
