The book explores the history and experiences of coaching in England, reflecting on the evolution of travel from the period of horse-drawn carriages to the advent of rail travel. It delves into anecdotes, including the challenges, dangers, and social aspects associated with coaching, combining both personal narrative and historical detail.
