In A Maverick Pilgrim Way, Mary Jane Walker explores many of the ancient European pilgrim routes. She discusses the history of the routes and people she met. With close to 600 photos and maps, this nonfiction gives the armchair reader a chance to visualize the areas she explored.

This maverick pilgrim is a true “unorthodox and independent-minded person.” Being so is in her blood and she is proud of it. Spontaneous and full of wanderlust she follows her heart as she travels.

Not only does she explore the more common pilgrimages such as the Camino de Santiago in Spain, but she also visits Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Italy, Russia, and Eastern Europe. From the book, the reader gets an understanding of the similarities and the differences between countries, peoples, and beliefs.

If you enjoy travel books that explain the bits of history and culture, you will enjoy A Maverick Pilgrim Way.
