Joseph Pennell's sketches, rendered as engravings for the book, add immensely to its interest. Nearly every place Elizabeth describes is meticulously depicted, as well as sketches of the heavily laden travellers at the start of their journey, trudging in the rain, and trying to decipher a map. My book is the 1889 edition: I don't know, but I doubt that the print-on-demand technology of the 21st century reprints conveys the exquisite detail of these illustrations.
It really is a delight to read, and so full of lively descriptions and clever turns of phrase that there's a temptation to read so many excerpts aloud to whoever happens to be within earshot, that you might as well read the whole book aloud from the beginning. ( )
