This 1911 anthology is a collection of musings on the pleasures, challenges, and experience of walking. It features some famous authors (Thoreau, Dickens, Whitman, etc.) and others who are less well known. The works include essays, excerpts from fictional works, and first-person accounts of adventures had while walking. The collection was compiled by Hilaire Belloc, a Franco-English writer, many of whose books have been recorded for Librivox. - Summary by Verla Viera
