Some stories couldn’t happen just anywhere or any time. Often the scenery, setting or era is as central to the tale as any character – and just as easily recognised. Literary Escapes brings together an eclectic collage of over 70 familiar literary worlds paired with original maps and archive material, as well as illustrations and photography.

In this collection of essays, the reader will become immersed in Les Misérables’ revolutionary Paris, feel the chill wind of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, and hear the churning paddles of Mississippi steamboats in Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Now in an updated new edition, with extended geographic scope and new entries.
