Book Description Hardcover. Condition: NEW - COLLECTIBLE. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, First Thus. Stated First Edition. Text/BRAND NEW. Green linen boards w/gilt spine lettering/Fine. DJ/NF. Trace spotting (acidic paper reaction) to upper text edge. Collection of remarkable strolls, walks and hikes taken in the 20th century. "Shank's mare" is an old Scottish term describing walking . that is to say, getting around on the strength of one's own shanks or legs. The anthology begins with Winston Churchill's 14 mile hike in Uganda, a respite taken during a safari trip, to be rewarded ". by a sense of completeness and self-satisfied detachment . a simple programme, which leaves nothing more to be demanded or desired." The last entry is Robert Marshall's 1930's walk through Alaska wilderness with the ending thoughts are: "It had been just an active unexciting [though readers might well differ] trip physically, but the most thrilling in aesthetic pleasure." Between these two, if you have no time tor stroll yourself, walk in the good company of Shiva Naipaul, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Lawrence Durrell, Evelyn Waugh, C.S. Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov, and many, many others. Seller Inventory # 007456
