BOOK HERE FOR A WORLD OF TRAVEL

From Graham Greene at Dien Bien Phu to Peter Acicroyd in Greenland, or from John Betjeman on never having been to Venice to Jeffrey Bernard cruising in Norway, here is a superbly entertaining collection of the best travel writing from the pages of The Spectator. All the pieces date from 1950 onwards, with a range as vast as the enjoyment is unflagging.
