Description:

Travel stories inspire travel, and travel thrives on travel stories. So when you pack for your European jaunt, you'd do well to include Patricia Craig's anthology of travel stories. It includes excerpts by Charles Dickens, stories by Edith Wharton, Evelyn Waugh, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jack Kerouac, Anita Desai, and Paul Theroux, Raymond Carver, Elizabeth Bishop, and 24 more seasoned and superb writers. It features snippets of London, Scotland and Greece, Paris, Germany and Morocco. The stories reach from the English Midlands to Bombay, Malaysia, and China, from 19th-century Palestine to the Riviera of the 1920s and Switzerland in the 1990s. The two common threads are travel and quality writing, and they make for delightful reading on that flight to Greece or that train across France.
