About the Book

Through past and present, the country and the city, Peter Fiennes takes a literary journey through the British Isles

'As enjoyable a guide to the relationship of writers to the landscape of Britain as one could hope to read: beautifully written, moving in its reflections, and often very funny.' Tom Holland

'The premise of this book is simple, or that is what it seemed when I started.'

Peter Fiennes follows in the footsteps of twelve inspirational writers, bringing modern Britain into focus by peering through the lens of the past.

The journey starts in Dorset, shaped by the childhood visions of Enid Blyton, and ends with Charles Dickens on the train that took him to his final resting place in Westminster Abbey.

From the wilds of Skye and Snowdon, to a big night out in Birmingham with J. B. Priestley and Beryl Bainbridge, Footnotes is a series of evocative biographies, a lyrical foray into the past, and a quest to understand Britain through the books, journals and diaries of some of our greatest writers.

And as Fiennes travels the country, and roams across the centuries, he wonders:

'Who are we? What do we want? They seemed like good questions to ask, in the company of some of our greatest writers, given these restless times.'

***

A Guardian Travel Book of the Year

Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards

'Fiennes is a perceptive reader and a good-humoured guide and his book offers a superb commentary on the connections between lesser-known places and writers... Footnotes is a passionate, partisan call for readers to take action before the British countryside may be encountered only between the pages of a book.' TLS

'Honing his easy-going and often witty style in this new book, Fiennes takes us on the journeys of famous writers... There's an infectious enthusiasm and self-deprecating authority to Fiennes's insights and he's a most agreeable companion... There will be many nature titles vying for a place on Christmas lists this year... This one should be towards the top' Guardian

'Marvellously quotable... Fiennes' literary journey makes for a provocative and engaging book.' Financial Times

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
