In A Rambling Fancy, Caroline Sanderson seeks out Jane Austens England  the churches, great houses, coaching inns, rectories and seaside lodgings  to see what still remains today. Following in Jane Austens footsteps, Sanderson tramps the muddy fields around Austens childhood home in rural Hampshire, walks the elegant streets of Bath, and strolls along the breezy promenades of south coast resort. Drawing upon Jane Austens letters as well as her many novels Caroline Sanderson charts her own experiences of the very places from which Jane Austen sought inspiration, reaching some original and fascinating conclusions.
