About this listen

 George Borrow, nineteenth century author of Lavengro, Romany Rye and Wild Wales, is one of the Victorian period’s most neglected authors. Yet he was one of the best-selling authors of his day, his books alive with travel, adventure, the lonely roads of pre-industrial England, and encounters with Gypsies and vagabonds in the age of stagecoaches and horse-fairs. In this short book of essays John Bainbridge, well-known as a writer on walking in Britain, introduces George Borrow to a new audience, looks at his roving background and relates Borrow’s expeditions in Cornwall and Scotland and his youthful days in Norfolk. George Borrow, eccentric and footloose wanderer, recorded a side of nineteenth-century life neglected by many writers of the period. Whether or not you are familiar with George Borrow and his writings, this book gives some pointers on where to start. John Bainbridge is also the author of Rambling – The Beginner’s Bible, Wayfarer's Dole and The Compleat Trespasser, all now available on Amazon Kindle and in paperback.
