A Book of Lands and Peoples

An anthology of travel-writing through the ages from a well-loved travel writer. In 1985 Eric Newby compiled an anthology of travel-writing called "Travellers Tales", The enthusiasm and love for the subject he displayed shone out on every page. This volume aims to replicate the critical and commercial success of this and contains the same qualities. It should prove a treat for the armchair traveller and Newby fan.
