Sauntering: Writers Walk Europe features sixty writers – classic and contemporary – who travel Europe by foot. We join Henriette D’Angeville climbing Mont Blanc; Nellie Bly roaming the trenches of war-torn Poland; Werner Herzog on a personal pilgrimage across Germany; Hans Christian Andersen in quarantine; Joseph Conrad in Cracow; and Robert Macfarlane dropping deep into underground Paris.

This is the companion volume to Notting Hill Editions’ bestselling Beneath My Feet: Writers on Walking and Globetrotting: Writers Walk the World, the latest anthology edited by Duncan.

‘Sauntering is a superior feast, a high-class tasting menu, sometimes deliciously incongruous but always organised with intelligent care…It is hard to think that it could be better done.’

Times Literary Supplement

‘Expands the genre of flânerie, with an open-endedness true to its spirit.’

New Yorker

‘The perfect companion for a summer ramble or a winter fireside.’

Will Self

‘I want this book with me. I plan to open it, often, every day. Read one selection and you will smile. Read three and you'll be lacing your boots.’
