Sobre IBD

First published in 1851, Rambles Beyond Railways combines vivid descriptions of Cornwall’s dramatic coastlines, ancient churches, and picturesque villages with tales of shipwrecks and local legends in a county poised between tradition and the coming of the modern railway age.This new annotated edition introduces Collins’s travel writing to a modern reader, with refreshed design and up to date references, and the account remains one of the most engaging literary journeys we have through nineteenth-century Cornwall.
