Travel

Travel books have an extraordinary ability to transport readers to distant lands, diverse cultures and beautiful settings. The best travel writing is the kind that ignites a spark of curiosity and encourages others to embark on their own quests of discovery. From Michael Palin to Tamsin Calidas and fascinating bestsellers like Travels with Charley, The Trainspotter's Notebook and The Lost Pianos of Siberia, we publish the very best of this broad and illustrious genre.
