The Travel Collection

Ideal for the explorer, The Little Toller Travel Collection brings together three outstanding books from writers who set off to discover the world. Our handpicked selection has a special price and free UK postage.

In Something of his Art Horatio Clare follows in the footsteps of J S Bach as he journeyed across Germany in the winter of 1705, walking 250 miles to Lubeck, on his journey to become the greatest composer the world has yet seen.

Of all the cities than Jan Morris knew it was Venice which held a special place in her heart. In A Venetian Bestiary, a lovely pocket book, Morris explores the animals – real, imaginary and artistic – which haunt the city of floating dreams.

King of Dust is a stonemason’s pilgrimage into the art of the Romanesque, as Alex Woodcock travels through England’s south-west on a journey to seek out and learn this fascinating form of ancient church architecture and to realise his own dream of becoming a craftsman, picking up tools and working with stone.
