WAYFARER: A JOURNEY ALONG BRITAINS ANCIENT PATHS (HB)

What is a pilgrimage? Why are so many people undertaking them now? How do you become a pilgrim? And how do you know what you are seeking? These are the questions Phoebe Smith grapples with as she undertakes a series of journeys - some familiar and some little-known - the length and breadth of Britain. Along the way she contemplates love and loss in her life, the role of contemplation and silence in pilgrimage, and the sudden camaraderie brought by shared endeavour.
