From London to Lands End

Description

In From London to Land’s End, Daniel Defoe, best known as the author of Robinson Crusoe, records his travels through the southern counties of England during the early 18th century. Beginning in London and ending at the windswept cliffs of Cornwall, Defoe describes each region with the eye of both a novelist and a journalist.

He explores the character of towns, the rhythms of local economies, and the stories of the people he meets. From the spires of Salisbury to the naval bustle of Plymouth, his account captures the rich variety of English life. With wit, precision, and curiosity, he offers insights into architecture, agriculture, commerce, and customs.

More than a travelogue, this book provides a unique glimpse into the landscape and culture of England as it was three hundred years ago. Readers are invited to observe a changing nation through the thoughtful reflections of one of its keenest minds.
