Exploring the gardens, monuments, museums, and churches with walks both urban and rural, from the Bronte parsonage in Haworth to Zadie Smith' s North London and Shakespeare' s Stratford, The Book Lover' s Bucket List takes you through some 100 wonderfully described literary sites and landscapes, complete with colour destination photographs and illustrations from the British Library collections. Start with Chaucer, Dickens and Larkin in Westminster Abbey. Spend an afternoon at Colliers Wood Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire and take in the lake D. H. Lawrence described as ' all grey and visionary, stretching into the moist, translucent vista of trees and meadow' . Venture south to Cornwall and work your way up to the Scottish Highlands, taking detours to Northern Ireland in the west and Norfolk in the east - or simply drop in on the place nearest to you. Wherever you are in the United Kingdom, you' re never far from something associated with a good book.
Caroline Taggart worked in publishing as an editor of popular non-fiction for 30 years before writing I Used to Know That, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. Her other books include The Book of English Place Names, The Book of London Place Names, How to Greet the Queen (And Other Questions of Modern Etiquette), and A Slice of Britain: Around the Country by Cake.
