'After having put my shoes on and let my thoughts wander, I am sure of one thing - to put one foot in front of the other is one of the most important things we do.' From those shaky first steps we take as toddlers, to great expeditions to the North Pole, Erling Kagge explains that he who walks goes further and lives better. This is a book about love of exploration, the delight of discovery and the equilibrium found in the most simple of activities.
Here in Petticoat Lane we were obsessed with Internationally-renowned traveller Erling Kagge's first book - 'Silence in the Age of Noise'. There is no better adventurer to look to when it comes to travelling; Erling once spent 50 days walking alone in Antarctica, and was the first person in history to conquer the ‘three poles’ - North, South and Mount Everest. Following in the styles of Robert McFarlane and Alain de Botton, Kagges allows us not to forget our love of nature within the silent parts of our world.
