"At Home" is a fascinating ramble through the towns and villages of the British Isles during the last 400 years in the company of some of its most illustrious chroniclers, diarists and letter-writers.
From the pens of Jane Austen, William Cobbett, Daniel Defoe, Sir Walter Scott, and Virginia Woolf, we travel by steam ship, mail coach, and hot air balloon, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands in this richly entertaining collection of wry anecdotes and travellers observations as part of the Gazettes' vivid portrait of British life through the centuries.
