Following the success of The Walker's Anthology and The Railway Anthology, we're continuing this series and applying the same formula to the subject of cycling and journeys by bicycle. We draw on the writings of more than 50 literary figures and famous personalities on the subject of cycling and journeys by bicycle - J.G. Ballard, John Betjeman, Quentin Blake, Arthur Conan Doyle, E.M. Forster, Ernest Hemingway, Jerome K Jerome, D.H. Lawrence, Somerset Maugham, Dervla Murphy, Eric Newby, Dorothy Sayers, Mark Twain, H.G. Wells and Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins among many others. This entertaining hardback anthology will appeal to cyclists and armchair travelers alike and make the perfect gift.
