Green linen boards w/gilt spine lettering/Fine. DJ/NF w/faint creasing to upper front corner. Collection of 20th century remarkable walks and walkers. "Shank's mare" is an old Scottish term describing walking . that is to say, getting around on the strength of one's own shanks or legs. The anthology begins with Winston Churchill's 14 mile hike in Uganda taken during a safari trip, rewarded by a ". a sense of completeness and self-satisfied detachment . a simple programme, which leaves nothing more to be demanded or desired." The last entry is Robert Marshall's 1930's walk through Alaska wilderness with the ending thoughts are: "It had been just an active unexciting [though readers might well differ] trip physically, but the most thrilling in aesthetic pleasure." Between these two, if you are short time to stroll yourself, walk in the good company of Shiva Naipaul, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Lawrence Durrell, Evelyn Waugh, C.S. Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov, and many, many others. Seller Inventory # 021158
