Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year AwardFew areas of Britain are as holidayed in or as mythologised as Cornwall. From the romantic melodrama of Poldark to gritty TV depictions of the modern fishing industry, it is a region densely laden with images, projections and tropes. But how do they all intersect with the real Cornwall - its landscapes, histories, communities and sense of identity?In The Granite Kingdom, Tim Hannigan sets out on an epic east-west journey on foot through his own homeland, exploring its landscapes and history, but also examining how the Cornwall of the popular imagination has been constructed by writers, artists and others. His journey takes him from the deep woodlands of the Tamar Valley, across the granite wilderness of Bodmin Moor; past coastal villages where tourism and fishing find an uneasy coexistence; through Cornwall's deprived post-industrial heartlands; and finally into the wildest and most remote western region of Penwith - the place that the author has always called home.

A Financial Times Travel Book of the Year 2021 Where can travel writing go in the twenty-first century? Author and lifelong travel writing aficionado Tim Hannigan sets out in search of this most venerable of genres, hunting down its legendary practitioners and confronting its greatest controversies. Is it ever okay for travel writers to make things up, and just where does the frontier between fact and fiction lie? What actually is travel writing, and is it just a genre dominated by posh white men? What of travel writing''s queasy colonial connections? Travelling from Monaco to Eton, from wintry Scotland to sun-scorched Greek hillsides, Hannigan swills beer with the indomitable Dervla Murphy, sips tea with the doyen of British explorers, delves into the diaries of Wilfred Thesiger and Patrick Leigh Fermor, and gains unexpected insights from Colin Thubron, Samanth Subramanian, Kapka Kassabova, William Dalrymple and many others. But along the way he realises how much is at stake: can his own love of travel writing survive this journey? The Travel Writing Tribe tackles head on the fierce critical debates usually confined to strictly academic discussions of the genre. This highly original book compels readers and travellers of all kinds to think about travel writing in new ways.
