On the write tracks in literary Kent - Day 2 Find!
On the write tracks in literary Kent
Fire your imagination
Come and be inspired - like so many great writers - by Kent's idyllic rural landscapes,
captivating cities, castles and gardens.
Day Two
Today take a tip from Geoffrey Chaucer and follow the trail of his
Canterbury Tales pilgrims.His world-renowned story was the first book to be printed in England, in 1476, and you can
sample the full exuberance of its side-splitting humour, romance and horror at
The CanterburyTales
.Glorious
Canterbury Cathedral, site of pilgrimage since the martyrdom of Thomas Becket in1170, is also the setting for T S Eliot's verse drama
Murder in the Cathedral, first performedhere in 1935.
Maybe take in a performance at
The Marlow Theatre, named after Canterbury-bornElizabethan playwright and spy Christopher Marlowe. The mysteries surrounding his life and
death are explored in the Museum of Canterbury. Here, too, you can indulge in a little
childhood nostalgia in the Rupert Bear Museum. Mary Tourtel, the artist who created Rupert,
was also born in Canterbury and is buried in St Martin's Churchyard.
