Beggars On Horseback; A Riding Tour In North Wales

Beschreibung

A riding tour through North Wales, told with keen eyes, humour, and an appetite for the real world you can smell and hear. Beggar On Horseback offers a vivid riding tour narrative framed in early twentieth-century travel writing. Martin Ross guides readers along coast, moor, and mountain, where the horse's patient gait becomes a lens for landscapes, weather, and the stubborn joys of rural life. It is travel literature that slides between awe and detail, revealing not only scenery but the small, generous encounters of a touring mind on the move. The book invites casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to witness a north Wales setting that feels both timeless and freshly observed. Historical significance sits alongside literary charm: a British travel memoir that captures a bygone era with honesty and humour, a bridge between rugged outdoor travel writing and modern sensibilities. This edition from Alpha Editions is more than a reprint-out of print for decades and now republished, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a simple revival, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a cornerstone for students of travel literature fans and riding enthusiasts readers alike. If you cherish classic northern travel writing, this is a true cornerstone-a tactile, transportive invitation to the roads of North Wales and the stories they carry.

Autor

Martin Ross, pseudonymously embodying the literary talents of Violet Martin, was an Irish author whose contributions left a distinct mark within the tapestry of Anglo-Irish literature. Born into a family steeped in cultural heritage, Ross's foray into the realm of storytelling was both a fulfillment of personal passion and an endeavor to cast a light on the nuances of Irish life. With a propensity for capturing the essence of the Irish gentry, as notably illustrated in her travel book 'Beggars on Horseback; A riding tour in North Wales,' readers are afforded a lens through which the rolling landscapes of Wales, as well as the intricacies of equestrian traverses, are vividly brought to life. Notably, her depiction of North Wales reveals an immersive experience characterized by a keen observational eye and a flair for descriptive narratives that teleport one into the heart of her travels. Ross's writing style can be described as robustly narrative with a penchant for the bucolic, reflecting an era where travelogues served as both entertainment and a form of vicarious exploration for the literate class. Her contributions to literature extend beyond her travel writings, inviting audiences to a world where the symbiosis of humor, community, and the quintessence of pastoral countryside unfolds. Ross's works remain a testament to her literary prowess and resonate still with those enthralled by the charm and wit of bygone Irish storytelling.
