An anthology of fifty years of travel writing and reportage
Winner of the 2018 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award's Outstanding Contribution to Travel Writing
Celebrating fifty years of travel writing and reportage, this book gathers together a hugely evocative collection of Morris's own work. The articles and extracts contained within this anthology offer a unique insight into such seminal moments as the first successful ascent of Mount Everest, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese. A consistent traveller, Morris has explored vast tracts of the world and is able to offer a highly personal, tremendously perceptive view of it. She has also set a fine example as to how we all should travel. Curious, analytical and accepting, this is a remarkable testament to her extraordinary career.
