Praise for WHERE MY FEET FALL
The Independent Best Book for Walker 2022
‘If you think great travel writing is all about moving through places in another person’s shoes, then you need this collection of essays from 20 writers about the pleasure of putting one foot in front of another. From bustling walks through Karachi with Kamila Shamsie, to rain-soaked treks in Germany with Jessica J Lee, every entry comes with its own unique flavour and makes you realise that this most rudimentary form of transport can be one of the most evocative. Editor Duncan Minshull, who pulled the collection together, has written three books about walking, so he knows a thing or two about it’
Helen Coffey, Independent
‘A new collection of essays both sprightly and ruminative.. exploring the delights – and the challenges – of the placing of one foot in front of the other. . . Where My Feet Fall features such appropriately sturdy literary names, among them Richard Ford, Kamila Shamsie and Patrick Gale . . . Reading about walking in Where My Feet Fall allows you to inhabit the walker's imagination fully – surely the ultimate in armchair travel’
Hephzibah Anderson, Observer
‘This wonderful new anthology about walking and creative thinking’
Inside A Mountain, Charlie Lee Potter
‘A beautiful book’
Walk The Pod, Rachel Wheeley
‘Another great book by the writer and editor now established as the go-to authority on walking. His latest is a collection of twenty thoughtful essays… twenty strolls around the imaginations of some great writers’
Chris Paling, author of After The Raid and A Very Nice Rejection Letter
