![]() With A Walk in the Woods, we’re in primetime Bryson as he decides – almost on a whim – to take on the 2,000-mile (and other argued distances) trek along the Appalachian Trail in North America. As well as the exquisite aesthetic, this is a wonderful example of not just doing things for the sake of it but picking an accomplished title and renewing it with beautifully reflective and accompanying artworks, that add depth to the book and offer it a further layer beyond the pages.īryson’s A Walk in the Woods is an incredibly fun expedition, and I grew up reading his work with the likes of Notes from a Small Island, Down Under, and The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America. ![]() Today we’re exploring and appreciating a fresh publication of Bill Bryson’s modern classic A Walk in the Woods, but this isn’t just any old re-release, it’s bound in blocked cloth, it’s set in Kennerley with Source Sans as display over 296 pages and features a range of original illustrations by artist James Weston Lewis. ![]()
