- Synopsis
- Including over 500 locations in the US and Europe, this guide is intended for the well-read traveler. Part one explores sites and subjects of literary travel interest, including destinations such as the author's houses and museums, tales of the writers travels at home and abroad, literary festivals and tours, and landmark places to eat, drink, and sleep. Part two visits in detail ten literarily significant locations as made famous by Austen (Bath, England), Dickens (London), Hugo (Paris), Joyce (Dublin), Kafka (Prague), Alcott (Concord, Massachusetts), Hawthorne (Salem, Massachusetts), Hemingway (Key West, Florida), Lee (Monroeville, Alabama), and Steinbeck (Monterey and Salinas, California. ) Much of the book is organized by theme instead of location, though an index is helpfully provided. The information is light on details; the book may be more suitable for travel inspiration than actual travel planning. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
