“There was nowhere to go but everywhere.” —Jack Kerouac

From Duncan Minshull, the UK’s “laureate of walking,” a collection of more than fifty writings about hiking the globe from contemporary and classic authors such as Mark Twain, William Boyd, Edith Wharton, Helen Garner, Rabindranath Tagore, and many more.

In Globetrotting, Duncan Minshull, the UK’s “laureate of walking,” brings together the work of more than fifty walker-writers who have traveled the world’s seven continents by foot. From the 1500s to the present day comes a memorable band of explorers and adventurers, scientists and missionaries, pleasure-seekers and literary drifters recalling their experiences and asking themselves a compelling question—why travel this way in the first place?

With contributions from Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, Mark Twain, Anthony Trollope, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Vernon Lee, Sarah H. Bradford, Rabindranath Tagore, D. H. Lawrence, Isabella Bird, Katherine Mansfield, Rachel Carson, Helen Garner, Jean-Paul Clébert, Colin Thubron, William Boyd, Matsuo Bashō, and many more, Globetrotting takes us across the streets of London, Rome, Melbourne, Cairo, Kiev and Kabu; through the frozen wastes of Antarctica; along the pilgrim paths of Japan; into the jungles of Ghana; and around the Great Wall of China.

Duncan Minshull is a freelance audio producer and anthologist, and formerly a senior producer at BBC Radio where he commissioned and produced the series Book Of The Week, Book at Bedtime, The Essay, and Short Story. His previous books include While Wandering, Beneath My Feet, Sauntering, and Where My Feet Fall. He has written extensively about the subject of walking for The Times (UK), Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Conde Nast Traveller, Slightly Foxed, Psychologies, and Vogue. He lives in West London and leads walking tours—“walk and talks”—across various parts of the UK.
