Inspired Traveller's Guides: Literary Places takes you on an
enlightening journey through the key locations of literature's best
and brightest authors, movements and moments - brought to life
through comprehensively researched text and stunning hand-drawn
artwork. Travel journalist Sarah Baxter provides comprehensive and
atmospheric outlines of the history and culture of 25 literary
places around the globe, as well as how they intersect with the
lives of the authors and the works that make them significant.
Full-page colour illustrations instantly transport you to each
location. You'll find that these places are not just backdrops to
the tales told, but characters in their own right. Travel to the
sun-scorched plains of Don Quixote's La Mancha, roam the wild
Yorkshire moors with Cathy and Heathcliff or view Central Park
through the eyes of J.D. Salinger's antihero. Explore the lush and
languid backwaters of Arundhati Roy's Kerala, the imposing
