Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "Afoot in England" by W. H. Hudson is a descriptive travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book explores the beauty of the English countryside through the lens of walking, cycling, and the intimate connections formed with the landscapes and the people encountered along the way, encouraging readers to appreciate the spontaneity of discovery rather than relying on guidebooks for all information. The opening of the book begins with a reflection on the abundance of guidebooks available in England and their mixed value to travelers. It presents a thoughtful critique of how these guides can detract from the genuine experience of exploration, emphasizing that the joy of true discovery lies in encountering places without preconceived notions. Hudson recounts a journey that leads him to a quaint village where he experiences the beauty of a church's bells echoing through the hills. This unexpected delight, along with the engaging tales and traditions he uncovers, serves as a testament to the richer experiences that come from wandering and observing rather than being overly directed by written guidance. This opening sets the stage for Hudson's celebration of immersive travel experiences throughout the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 64.4 (8th & 9th grade).
