Publisher's Synopsis
An amazing story of pilgrimage from Canterbury to Rome on horseback - from the heights of the Alps to the valley of the Po River. Still hooked on adventure after their long pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, a few years later Mefo Phillips and her spotted horse Leo set off again from Canterbury, this time heading for Rome. Turning her back on the main route of the Via Francigena through France and Switzerland, she opted instead for the road less traveled, a secondary pilgrim route that climbed directly over the French border pass at Mont Cenis into Italy.
