A Londoner's Walk to the Land's End: And a Trip to the Scilly Isles is a travelogue written by Walter White and first published in 1855. The book chronicles White's journey from London to the southernmost point of England, Land's End, on foot. Along the way, he describes the towns and villages he passes through, the people he meets, and the natural beauty of the English countryside. After reaching Land's End, White takes a steamboat to the Scilly Isles, a group of islands off the coast of Cornwall. He spends several weeks exploring the islands, describing their unique flora and fauna, as well as the local customs and traditions. Throughout the book, White provides historical and cultural context for the places he visits, and reflects on the impact of industrialization and modernization on rural England. He also includes anecdotes and observations about the people he encounters, offering a glimpse into Victorian society. Overall, A Londoner's Walk to the Land's End: And a Trip to the Scilly Isles is a charming and informative travelogue that captures the spirit of adventure and curiosity that characterized the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
