...fixed format for The Armchair Traveller. The first four titles are as different in tone and approach as the smooth, expansive river that dominates Along the Ganges is from the wild Celtic waters in the sailing odyssey Cape Wrath to Finisterre. New works arriving in 2006 serve up a gastro-tour of Italy, a road trip through China and a memoir of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. What unites each account is the authors' passion for travel.
