The blogger Dove Grey Read has an excellent post celebrating both Adlestrop and the two train journeys taken by Edward and Helen, the Adlestrop journey and Helen's difficult journey to Malvern on the first day of the 1st World War War.

Edward Thomas, the poet who died in the First World War, is the subject of this blog and of my novel, A Conscious Englishman. It is about Thomas, his wife Helen, Robert Frost, Eleanor Farjeon and others of the period, and about nature, place and poetry. 'Margaret Keeping's inhabitation of Edward, Robert, Helen and their world is tender and subtle...a lovely novel.'. Robert Macfarlane
