Through Anne, Adeline discovers a different facet of Europe, one steeped in historical significance brought to life by Anne's words. Adeline travels more than 2,000 kilometres, from the celestial plafond of Saint Paulinus in Trier to the Hanseatic city of L?eck, and across the Fehmarn Belt into Denmark to stand in the shadows of the Rundet蚌n of Copenhagen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdeline then chases the scent of Anne Lister's trail through Denmark's islands of Sj lland and Fyn back into Germany where she crosses the Elbe to find herself contemplating the distant North Sea, standing on the old pier of Alte Liebe in Cuxhaven, the very one which has withstood centuries of storms, even that of 1833 which stranded Anne in the harbour. Her journey brings her consolation, ignites in her a passion for Anne's travels, and engenders a deep respect for the intrepid Anne. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book contains never before published excerpts of Anne Lister's diary and letters, spanning June to December 1833, maps of Anne's journey and an appendix listing all the villages and cities Anne travelled through or visited in France, Germany, Luxembourg and Denmark, including landmarks that the 21st-century traveller can visit today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adeline Lim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8702736284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798702736280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.66d","brand":"Adeline Lim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990486089983,"sku":"9798702736280","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ff0bf8f-0934-410b-b220-9fe21c2bd8f3.jpg?v=1683304948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-footsteps-of-anne-adeline-lim-9798702736280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
