A Guardian Travel Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Edward
Stanford Travel Writing Awards ‘The premise of this book is
simple, or that is what it seemed when I started.’ Peter Fiennes
follows in the footsteps of twelve inspirational writers, bringing
modern Britain into focus by peering through the lens of the past.
The journey starts in Dorset, shaped by the childhood visions of
Enid Blyton, and ends with Charles Dickens on the train that took
him to his final resting place in Westminster Abbey. From the wilds
of Skye and Snowdon, to a big night out in Birmingham with J. B.
Priestley and Beryl Bainbridge, Footnotes is a series of evocative
biographies, a lyrical foray into the past, and a quest to
understand Britain through the books, journals and diaries of some
of our greatest writers. And as Fiennes travels the country, and
roams across the centuries, he wonders: ‘Who are we? What do we
want? They seemed like good questions to ask, in the company of
some of our greatest writers, given these restless times.’
