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.

Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in

I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
