Publisher Description: This novel, by Anglo-French writer Hilaire Belloc and originally published in 1911, tells the story of four men who make a 90 mile pilgrimage across the English county of Sussex. Each man represents an aspect of Belloc's personality, and the narrative follows the characters as they travel through the countryside on a journey allegorical to life. The story takes place over five consecutive days in which they pass through many real locations with which the author was very familiar: for instance, The George Inn at Robertsbridge, where Belloc was a regular customer. This is a wonderful novel by an accomplished author, and is a fantastic addition to the bookshelf of any connoisseurs of good fiction. To this volume is added a specially commissioned new short biography of the author. |
