This book is a wonderful view of Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk sometime before 1889. The means of transport, a Phaeton, is a carriage which takes its name from the Greek mythological character Phaeton, the son of Helios the Sun God. The choice of transport is central to this work, as indeed the title suggests, and the author travels the forgotten roads and villages bypassed by the railway.
In the main Hissey is interested in architecture and there are two specific types of building that attract his critical eye, old coaching inns and country churches.
