Format:Paperback
This book was first published in 1974. Amazon should make this clear. Maybe this is a revised edition, or just a reprint of an old edition - this should be clarified, and Amazon should not present it as a new book.

Delightful Book
20 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Hunter Davies wrote this book in 1974 about his walk along Hadrian's Wall in the UK.He introduces the reader to a wide variety of interesting and sometimes annoying characters with whom he met on his series of walks which took place between 1973 and 1974.Some of his characters such as Professor Birley (Vindolanda Roman site) have a great love for all things Roman and then you will meet the landowner who wishes the wall would just disappear.
Davies wrote in the introduction about what has since happened to some of the people that he met during his walk along Hadrian's Wall in his introduction of the book.If you have an interest in Roman Britain, Davies presents his historical information in an easy to read style of writing.
