Before the sensation novels, he walked Cornwall. Collins went down in 1850 with a friend and a knapsack and did the county on foot, before the trains got there: the tin mines running a thousand feet out under the sea, the wrestling matches, the Logan Rock, the fishermen, Land's End. A young writer's holiday book, already sharp about people and very funny about walking.
