    About this ebook

    This book was Edward Thomas's only non-fiction prose novel. It contains a beautifully written account of Thomas's journey from London to the Quantock Hills - To Nether Stowey, Kilve, Crowcombe and West Bagborough, to the high point where the Taunton-Bridgewater road tops the hills and shows all of Exmoor behind, all the Mendips before, and upon the left the sea, and Wales very far off. It was a journey taken by bicycle in the spring. A classic book for anyone who enjoys Thomas's work.
