An extraordinary historical journey through England. From Alice
Loxton, author of the acclaimed bestseller EighteenA Waterstones
Best History Book of 2025‘Joyous. The perfect walk through history‘
– Sir Tony Robinson, actor, presenter and author'Whimsical,
charming and cosy. Will make you want to take a long walk, look at
some churchyards, and drink a lovely cup of tea' – Alice Winn,
bestselling author of In MemoriamIn 1290, England mourned the death
of a queen, Eleanor of Castile, beloved wife of King Edward I, the
warrior king. Her body was carried on a 200-mile journey from
Lincoln to London, a solemn procession that would become
immortalized in stone. To mark the places where it stopped
overnight, a heartbroken Edward commissioned twelve magnificent
Eleanor Crosses.More than seven centuries later, bestselling
historian Alice Loxton set herself an epic challenge: following in
history’s footsteps by walking the entire 200-mile funeral route on
the corresponding dates.As Alice journeys in search of England’s
forgotten Queen, over ancient paths and modern motorways, history
comes alive in surprising ways. Lively and entertaining, Eleanor
uncovers the extraordinary life and formidable character of this
lesser-known royal, revealing her inspiring legacy and the hidden
history of Britain.‘Beautiful, elegiac, honest and compelling . . .
a modern-day pilgrimage walking in the footsteps of one of the
great forgotten queens’ – Kate Mosse, bestselling author of The Map
of Bones‘Loxton has the novelist’s skill of seeing the world
through her characters’ eyes, and the historian’s accuracy of
vision’ – Philippa Gregory, bestselling author of Normal
Women‘Eleanor is dazzling, alive with wit, elegance and insight. A
book that makes history feel urgent, intimate and unforgettable’ –
Rob Rinder, bestselling author of The Trial
