Traveller is a collection of letters and journal entries that bring the immediacy of experience together with perceptive reflections of the author’s own past. The entries in this volume are not travel guides. They are more personal, like letters from the most desirable sort of friend. The friend carries you with him as he meanders through the medina in Fez or into the hills of Gallipoli. His voice is such that you can almost smell the herbs and dusty soil of Crete, and you are always introduced to people he meets along the way.

This is a beautifully designed book in the classical tradition: proportion, symmetry, ergonomics and accessibility.
