Description
The Thirty-nine Million Steps is the true story of an epic 'end to end' solo walk the length of Britain. Entertaining and beautifully written from start to finish, this book is as charming as it is inspirational. Vivid descriptions let the reader follow every step of the way from the very tip of Cornwall to the furthest corner of Caithness. The author's careful observations provide insight into a changing nation and an antidote to the chaos of modern commuter life.
Written in accessible but elegant English, this book is ideal for any student of the English language. Complete with helpful footnotes, this book will enable students not only to improve their English, but also to learn about the people, the history, the geography, the culture and the character of Britain.
