Eleanor: a 200-mile walk in search of England's lost queen by Alice Loxton
In 1290, the wife of England's warrior king Edward I died. To commemorate Eleanor of Castille, heartbroken Edward commissioned twelve magnificent crosses along the route of her funeral procession from Lincoln to London. Over seven centuries later, historian Alice Loxton retraces this route on foot to piece together the life of England's forgotten queen.
 
Combining history, travel writing and social commentary in a lighthearted, chatty style, this is an absorbing and enlightening read. The research is top-notch and it certainly uncovers a neglected area of history. Recommended for fans of the author or medieval history.
