Some Press Opinions of this Book " . . . the combination of author and publisher was as inevitable as it is irresistible. This delightfully illustrated journey through England and the centuries comes at a good time, when other forms of travel are discouraged . . . whatever the century or the destination, Mr. Burke can find you the appropriate companion. For he is not only a good writer in himself, but the conduit of good writing which is in others." A. A. Milne in The Sunday Times "Mr. Burke tells the story . . . with his usual charm. Here are Romans and highwaymen, innkeepers and women cyclists, humours and adventures. And, of course, the profusion of admirable illustrations you expect in any Batsford book." The Manchester Evening News. "... a delightful account . . . from the earliest times to the present day, combining scholarship with imagination, and particular details with a wide view of the subject as a whole. "-Punch. "Mr. Burke is more than a witty anthologist of the road. All the time he keeps in mind the purposes and motives of the traveller and the functions of the roads, and so has written a book that while always entertaining is a solid piece of social history." The Spectator. "A lavishly illustrated Batsford book, exploring an absorbing subject." The Western Morning News. "Delight in the spectacle of transport is characteristic of Mr. Burke's truly picturesque book-a characteristic enhanced by the varied store of first-rate illustrations." The Birmingham Post. .
