| Summary | "The Pennyles Pilgrimage" by John Taylor is a narrative travelogue written in the early 17th century. The book chronicles the author's adventurous journey on foot from London to Edinburgh, undertaken without any money and without relying on charity or assistance. Through his travels, Taylor captures the various characters, hospitality, and experiences he encounters along the way, often infused with humor and a keen observation of social interactions. The opening of the narrative details the initial stages of Taylor's pilgrimage, beginning on a Tuesday evening. He sets out from London with a knapsack filled with provisions, intending to showcase the kindness of strangers as he embarks on a series of encounters and festivities. His humorous observations of the people he meets and the food and drink he consumes highlight the spirit of camaraderie and generosity he experiences, even as he adheres to the unusual challenge of not possessing money. Taylor's playful writing style, mingled with charming anecdotes, hints at a lighthearted exploration of life, hospitality, and the human condition during his travels.
