The Old Ways: A Journey On Foot by Robert Macfarlane

adventurous emotional reflective slow-paced

4.75

Macfarlane’s prose is beautiful as always and his love for the walks he goes on shines through. This deserves to be read slowly. I enjoyed the range of characters Macfarlane meets throughout his travels, who bring the book alive. I also thought the parts in Edward’s Thomas were moving. My only complaint is that the quality of the chapters is slightly inconsistent, some are incredibly strong and evocative, others don’t quite reach that same high standard.
