"The Cambridge, Ely, and King's Lynn Road: The Great Fenland Highway" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich history and significance of the old coaching route that connects these notable locations, ultimately offering insights into the journeys of travelers in past centuries. Through its detailed narrative, the book likely attracts readers interested in travel, history, and the evolution of transportation. The opening of this work sets the stage for an exploration of the ancient roads leading from London to Cambridge and beyond. Harper invokes the muse of history, Clio, as he paints vivid images of the landscapes, tribes, and significant historical events that characterize these routes. He contrasts the romanticized vision of travel in the past with the detached nature of modern railway travel. By introducing various periods of history, such as the Roman occupation and the ensuing chaos of invasions, Harper highlights how the road has evolved over centuries, inviting readers to appreciate the stories embedded in the paths they travel today.
