“We used Walking Fiction in Paris, France, to learn about Ernest Hemingway – one of the
greatest writers of the 20th century. We walked the streets of his 1964 novel, A Moveable
Feast, and we sat in Café
Les Deux Magots on Boulevard Saint Germain while we were reading parts of the book.
Hemingway used to sit there when he lived in Paris in the 1920s.”
“Last year, we visited the real Penny Lane in Liverpool, England, from the Beatles’ song,
Penny Lane, by songwriters Paul McCartney and John Lennon. The lyrics of the song were
written about
that road because Paul and John used to meet at
a bus terminal there when they were young.”
“We used Walking Fiction to see a different side
of Dublin, Ireland. Today, we’re imagining it’s 16th June, 1904. We’re walking the streets of
Dublin – just like Leopold Bloom, James Joyce’s most famous character from his book,
Ulysses. With this app, ordinary events in fiction are really brought to life.”
“We visited Hampshire, England, the home of Jane Austen and the imaginary heroines from
her books, such as Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen’s house in
Chawton was turned into
a museum and we finished our tour there. It was
a great day!”
