Product Description

Book Description

My book has recently been reprinted and updated. It sold out
- which I gather is very unusual for a self-published book. Probably the
good reviews on here helped a bit. Anyway, loads of people wanted me to
reprint it, so I did, and I added an update answering the question I was
always being asked: "What did you do afterwards?" So there's a
final chapter about my move to Wales, learning to fly, becoming a
helicopter instructor, and moving to the Peak District. I think you'll
enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Book about a Fascinating Journey, 14 Mar 2002
I have read Helen Krasner's book twice and I'm sure I shall read it again. Yet it isn't entirely easy to describe what makes it so well worth reading. Although Helen claims to be an ordinary person, doing something which to her, while she was doing it, became quite an ordinary thing to do, her way of being ordinary is so extraordinary that it makes her book, and her walk, something very different and special.
Why did she walk round the island of Britain? One doesn't really know, at the end. But what is certain is that she got a great deal out of it, and much of what she got out of it , she has been able to pass on to the reader. Above all this is a book about people; the innumerable people she met in the course of her journey; most of them kind and hospitable, a few impressive, one or two more or less mad. And about places - two of the most interesting to Helen, and to us, are the beautiful North West coast of Scotland - she makes one determined to go there - and Sellafield nuclear power station. The power station not so much for itself, as for the effect it has on the people who live and work in the area, none of whom appear able to consider it objectively. If only this book could have been well illustrated with good photographs, it could have been very successful indeed. As it is, it's there, you can buy it, and after all, the text is the important thing. Helen Krasner is not just a long-distance walker - she is also the author of a fascinating book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A coastal walk for fun, 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This book makes a refreshing change from all those well planned, well researched travel books that are ultimately boring. This is how it would be for the likes of you and me. A very readable and interesting account that's often quite funny, for this is a walk for fun, not to beat a record, or raise money for charity. Helen's encounters are always worth reading, especially those with other coastal walkers, like the one who tells her what "a bitch" the Mull of Kintyre had proved, but is nonetheless horrified that she decides she'll skip it then! Not in the class of Bill Bryson, obviously, but still fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the tin, 25 Aug 2009
By Occasional reader (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
Having read quite a few of this sort of book I thought it might be just like the others. However, as it says on the cover this is quite simply 'an account of a walk'
It's a simple account - it doesn't feel over-edited.
I could simply say that I agree with the other reviews - they persuaded me to buy the book and having re-read them now they are spot-on.
Improvements? I would ask Helen to write about all the places she just glossed over - although I daresay she would tell us that she's written all the interesting bits already.
