Literary Locations
Special places linked to books and authors I love!
There are so many places which have inspired authors, poets and artists and there is something very special about walking in their footsteps.
Here are some of the literary locations around the UK and further afield that I have had the pleasure of visiting.
New York Public Library
Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing…
Sylvia Plath’s grave
The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
Dorchester: Thomas Hardy
Casterbridge stood…clean-cut and distinct, like a chessboard on a green tablecloth.
Doone Valley
‘…those bloody Doones of Bagworthy, the awe of all Devon and Somerset, outlaws, traitors, murderers.’
