The Icknield Way: With Illustrations by A. L. Collins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447471929)

This early work by Edward Thomas was originally published in 1916 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Icknield Way' is one of Thomas's essays on travel. Philip Edward Thomas was born in Lambeth, London, England in 1878. His parents were Welsh migrants, and Thomas attended several schools, before ending up at St. Pauls. Thomas led a reclusive early life, and began writing as a teenager. He published his first book, The Woodland Life (1897), at the age of just nineteen. A year later, he won a history scholarship to Lincoln College, Oxford. Despite being less well-known than other World War I poets, Thomas is regarded by many critics as one of the finest.
