Description

You've gotta love those travel documentaries with celebrities awkwardly trying to make their interactions with locals seem impromptu and organic.

Perhaps it's best to let the writers express the escapism of travel. And why not leave travel writing to Wilkie Collins, the star of Victorian-era mystery and thriller novels?

In "Rambles Beyond Railways", Collins exchanges his London ale for a Cornish pasty when he writes of his travels around Cornwall.While the Victorians were crazy about building railways, rail access didn't extend to the whole of Cornwall.

Instead, Collins goes by foot across Cornwall with his friend, Henry Brandling, who provided illustrations for the original publication.

True to his love of the sensational, Collins explores the enchanting Cornish locations whence stories of ghostly shipwrecks and semi-mythical kings originated.Get lost in Collins's Cornwall instead of Jeremy Clarkson's ill-fitting jeans.-
