Pilgrimages ? real and imagined - are always popular, sometimes compulsory. Bodh Gaya, Santiago, Mecca, Jerusalem, Puri: a few of the sites that beckon. The pilgrimage to the authentic self takes a similar path in an interior landscape. In the 15th century, Felix Fabri combined the two, using his visits to Jerusalem to write a handbook for nuns wanting to make a pilgrimage in the imagination, whilst confined to their religious houses.
For Guidebook for an Armchair Pilgrimage, the authors followed Fabri's example: first walking together over many weeks ? not to reach a destination but simply to find one ? then, in startling words and images, conjuring an armchair pilgrimage for the reader? along lanes and around hills, into caves and down to the coast. "We arrived again and again at what we assumed would be a final 'shrine', only to be drawn onwards and inwards towards another kind of finality? rather than reaching a destination, the pilgrimage was repeatedly reborn inside us, until its most recent rebirth in this book."
