Reviews
‘Travels does not pretend to be anything that it is not, and it delivers what it promises. Its extracts evoke the rawness of discovery in an age when vast portions of the atlas were blank and when large portions of the world’s population lived in ignorance of each other.
– Fergus Fleming, The Times Literary Supplement
