Críticas
Part travel writing, part inspirational walking guide, with 15 maps to serve walkers with a historical leaning. An attractive hardback with Bayeux tapestry design cover. || In his other life, Mallalieu is an expert on watercolours and the salesroom writer for Country Life, but he clearly also has a talent for travel writing. He deftly weaves the account of his own trip through a contemporary landscape with the story of Harold and his army, and the text is rich in historical detail. His approach to the topics he covers is winning and catholic, as he examines everything from stately homes to football chants, power stations to full english breakfasts. He illustrates his book with some quirky hand-drawn maps, as well as Old English magic charms, snatches of poetry and even recipes, to create an engaging and rather original portrait of England and Englishness. || An enjoyable and unusual look at medieval and modern Britain through the eyes of an author who writes in a lively and accessible style. Huon's honesty throughout the walk makes this a fascinating read, and following his account of the walk is almost like listening to a friend talk. || Reading this book is like going off for a week with a favourite uncle who can sing, drink and charm a smile from both a melancholic duke and a moody hoodie, while entertaining you with passionate stories about our island's history. || An original and very readable account of one man's attempt to learn about the past by exploring the present. || A thoughful look at a key moment in history and our changing countryside. || Scholarly but very readable and provides a refreshing way of learning more about the history of England that walkers may find particularly appealing. || For the historically minded it is the perfect fireside Christmas read. And the index is an entertainment in itself. || What really enlivens his book is his sharp and telling eye for the unusual and absurd that he encounters along the way. || Mallalieu tramps along the fatal route, tracing the past and meditating on the events of a thousand years ago. Historical anecdotes ease the pain of blisters and the roar of traffic to create a warm and personal account.
Reseña del editor
Huon Mallalieu retraces the footsteps of Harold Godwinson's English army in autumn 1066 as they raced from their crushing defeat of the invading Norwegian army at Stanford Bridge in Yorkshire to the fateful encounter with William's Norman army at Hastings in Sussex – a distance of over 250 miles which was covered in less than two weeks by exhausted, often wounded, heavily armed men. The rhythm of the walk and the sights along the way prompt thoughts on history, England and Englishness.
