Queen's Park Book Festival
Rob Cowen: The North Road
£8.00
An unforgettable exploration of Britain's great highway
A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week
The A1, the Great North Road, is a 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway. In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Rob Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. And in doing so, he shows how roads can lead us to find ourselves.
Rob will be in conversation with festival director Thomas du Plessis.
