Description Literary Places (Inspired Traveller’s Guide) by Sarah Baxter

Bringing together engaging text and stunning hand-drawn illustrations, Inspired Traveller’s Guide: Literary Places takes readers on an enlightening journey through the key locations of literature’s best and brightest authors, movements and moments. Explore the plains of La Mancha with Don Quixote, take a Holden Caulfield tour of Central Park, or roam the Yorkshire moors with Cathy and Heathcliff.

Author Sarah Baxter explores literary locations from around the globe, including vibrant urban centres, tranquil creative sanctuaries and places that inspired classic stories. The evocative text outlines each location’s history and culture, combined with biographies of the authors or stories from the literary works that make the place significant.

My Thoughts Literary Places (Inspired Traveller’s Guide) by Sarah Baxter

‘Literary Places’ is a richly illustrated guide for literary travel.  That is, travel for book lovers.  It only provides short descriptions/short stories about the places you can visit.  So I think it is a good introduction to literary travel but I would certainly want to read a more in depth travel book or articles to plan an actual trip.

I think ‘Literary Places’ would make a great gift for literature lovers, as well as art lovers and would also make a handsome coffee table book.

4/5

I received this book for my honest review.
