‘To anyone of my sex who feels inclined to follow my example and visit Billingsgate Market when it is in full blast, I would recommend the use of Louis XV. heels – the higher the better – in fact, a pair of stilts would not be inappropriate’From young men seeking outdoor adventure to intrepid ladies of a certain age discovering other cultures, Victorian explorers were starting to develop a more personal kind of travelogue. In A Woman’s Walks, Lady Colin Campbell takes us on a voyage of exploration through her inner landscape – as well as through Italy, France, Switzerland, Austro-Hungary, London, and the English countryside. A Woman’s Walks is part of ‘Found on the Shelves’, published with The London Library. The books in this series have been chosen to give a fascinating insight into the treasures that can be found while browsing in The London Library. Now celebrating its 175th anniversary, with over 17 miles of shelving and more than a million books, The London Library has become an unrivalled archive of the modes, manners and thoughts of each generation which has helped to form it.
