Summary:Full travel details are provided for motorists, users of public transport, and walkers, together with telephone numbers, web sites, and practical information for travellers who may be visiting the UK for the first time. The text is very frankly aimed at readers who may know virtually nothing about Bunyan, and there are inset sections giving sketches of 'The Puritans and Civil War', 'Oliver Cromwell', 'The History of Bedford', 'Foxe's Book of Martyrs' and so forth. Just occasionally the tone tends a little towards hagiolatry, and readers of this journal will raise their eyebrows at the statement that before the publication of The Pilgrim's Progress there were 'few major books in print in England apart from the Bible, the works of Shakespeare and John Foxe's Book of Martyrs'.
