Critic reviews
"It is a highly enjoyable collection. Some pieces are just dazzling." (Independent on Sunday)
"An extraordinary series...deserves a medal. The readers are all excellent and many of them distinguished." (The Spectator)
"From the same stable that produced The Chronicle, my favourite audio this year, I've just listened equally spellbound to a compilation of travellers' tales at home." (The Guardian)
