WINNER OF THE 2014 THWAITES WAINWRIGHT PRIZE In the past, Hugh
Thomson has written acclaimed books about Peru, Mexico and the
Indian Himalaya. Now he returns to the most exotic and foreign
country of them all - his own. Walking right across England, along
ancient trackways and green grass roads, Hugh explores the way the
country was and the way it is today: the legends, literature and
natural world that define us, and the undercurrent of regret
running throughout our history; what he calls 'the unicorn
disappearing into the trees'. From coast-to-coast and through the
heart of the countryside, he shows how older,forgotten cultures
like the Celts, Saxons and Vikings lie much closer to the surface
than we may think. It is a journey enriched and partly told by the
characters he meets along the way. By taking it, Hugh casts
unexpected light - and humour - on the way we live now.
