A peasant in peaked hat and blue shirt, with trousers rolled up
high above his bare knees, crossed the road and silently examined
the tricycle. "You have a good horse," he then said; "it eats
nothing." -from An Italian Pilgrimage The 1880s was an exhilarating
time for cycling pioneers like Elizabeth and her husband Joseph. As
boneshakers and high-wheelers evolved into tandem tricycles and the
safety bike, cycling grew from child's play and extreme sport into
a leisurely and, importantly, literary mode of transportation. The
illustrated travel memoirs of "those Pennells" were-and still
are-highly entertaining. They helped usher in the new age of
leisure touring, while playfully hearkening back to famous literary
journeys. In this new edition, Dave Buchanan provides rich cultural
contexts surrounding the Pennells' first two adventures. These long
out-of-print travel memoirs will delight avid cyclists as well as
scholars of travel literature, cycling history, women's writing,
Victorian literature, and illustration.
