Rambles Beyond Railways: Or Notes In Cornwall Taken A-Foot is a travelogue written by William Wilkie Collins and published in 1851. The book is a detailed account of Collins' journey on foot through the scenic and rugged terrain of Cornwall, England. Collins, who is best known for his mystery novels, takes a break from his usual genre and explores the countryside, describing the landscape, the people, and the customs of the region. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a different part of Cornwall. The author's vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the area are interspersed with anecdotes and observations about the locals and their way of life. He also includes historical information about the region, such as the mining industry and the legends surrounding local landmarks. Rambles Beyond Railways is a charming and informative book that captures the essence of Cornwall in the mid-19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or the works of William Wilkie Collins.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
