'Pilgrimage' explores journeys of personal meaning


By Joan Taylor
“Pilgrimage is a word that should be used with care, not thrown around lightly in glossy travel brochures,” says British author and journalist Peter Stanford. In his engrossing new book “Pilgrimage: Journeys of Meaning,” he invites the reader on an exploration of 12 ancient sites that call the modern pilgrim to a trip beyond travel, a purpose beyond pleasure. 
From destinations like the Camino de Santiago in Spain to Shikoku in Japan, these journeys intertwine with history and myth, and don’t require today’s pilgrim to be part of a religious tradition.

To date, he has spent six years and a staggering 250,000 pounds ($428,000) of his life savings in order to be allowed to see the private diaries and correspondence between Prince Philip’s uncle and aunt, Dickie and Edwina Mountbatten. And although it is already too late for his own book The Mountbattens: Their Lives and Loves became a bestseller upon publication in 2019 he has not given up his quest. ....

Last year, almost every Sunday morning for three months, I sat at my dining table interviewing writers in many different time zones, sitting at their own desks and dining tables, via Zoom.
The big Covid
lockdown had scuppered the Auckland Writers Festival, so director Anne O Brien created the 2020 Winter Series. Over 12 weeks I interviewed 37 writers and Tina Makereti interviewed another three on my one Sunday holiday. Total views for the series were more than 72,000, with people tuning in from all over the world – especially for big international names like Bernadine Evaristo, fresh from her Booker win, and Neil Gaiman. ....
