Wryly humorous and quintessentially British, Three Men and a
Bradshaw collects the previously unpublished holiday journals of
John Freeman, who travelled Britain with his brothers during the
1870s. Each year the trio would settle upon a destination, buy
their tickets and set off - armed, of course, with their trusty
Bradshaw's Descriptive Railway Hand-book. John's delightful records
of their trips contain much that will resonate with the modern
traveller, from the eccentricities of fellow passengers and locals
to the tender mercies of the British climate. At the same time they
offer insights into the experiences particular to a Victorian
tourist, and are full of valuable local history on everywhere from
Devon and Jersey to Scotland and Wales. Beautifully illustrated
throughout with John's original drawings, this is a fascinating and
uniquely personal historical artefact, as well as an enchanting and
frequently hilarious evocation of a distant but still wholly
recognisable Britain.
