Red Dog Books was founded in 2000 to provide wide-ranging and detailed information about Brittany in English, with an emphasis on guidebooks, walking and cycling books. These practical guides are reliable companions for exploring short and long distance routes throughout the region. A series of works of historical interest and three novels set in Brittany were later additions to the Red Dog Books list, providing acute insight into Brittany's culture and remarkable heritage. The business, which was named after two unforgettable red dogs, Rufus and Brian, has been based in Finistère for twenty-five years.
The Unquit Path, reviewed on Amazon...
This book is the author’s account of her walk following the 1,000km long route of the Tro Breiz pilgrimage linking the seven cathedrals of the founding saints of Brittany. It is not, as one might first think, either a diary or a tourist guide but a delicately woven and finely balanced tapestry of landscape, monuments, history, legend and the author’s personal trials and tribulations in achieving her goal. I have been regularly visiting Brittany for 20 years and learnt much that was completely new to me from this book. It is full of fascinating facts and insight and is very readable. I can highly recommend it.
