Interweaving personal and historical narratives and making use of contemporary sources, Graham Robb’s lively exploration of Britain through the ages peels back the layers of this island nation and shows how it came to be. We follow Robb as he travels along the warpaths of long-forgotten kings, under the chalk ramparts and grassy folds of ancient hill-towns, down the ghost trails of Roman and Saxon streets.

Brought to you by Penguin. We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the...

Tales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of 48, on the verge of a divorce, Rita left an elegant life in Los Angeles to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world.

Five and a half decades of adventure travel, mostly by motorcycle, often alone or with his son. Now in his 70's, Tales from the Road: Volume 3 captures interesting and unusual vignettes from the author's adventure travels, starting, perhaps, when he was six-years-old (a solo, unauthorised three-mile journey by tricycle). Then, two epic journeys with his father and brother: walking 375 miles from Durban to Lourenco Marques when he was 12-years-old, and then, two years later, a 1,200-mile bicycle ride to Beira in Mocambique.

In American Notes, Charles Dickens sets out on an eye-opening journey across the Atlantic in the early 19th century, capturing his impressions of a rapidly growing United States. Published in 1842, the book recounts his travels through the U.S. and Canada, blending lively storytelling with sharp social observations—something Dickens was especially known for.

What if the only way to rediscover the soul of America was to follow a forgotten Byzantine scholar back to Italy?

He does what any reasonable person would: he takes his two Pomeranians and goes off to Italy.

Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty. The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again. Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary’s footsteps – at least some of the way.

From Sunday Times bestseller Miles Morland comes a brilliant, life-affirming and audacious travel memoir. Having never ridden a motorbike at night, in rain, or on motorways, not knowing the difference between a carburettor and a spark plug, Miles Morland set out to ride across newly post-communist Europe to Istanbul. Somehow, he survived gales in France, rioting miners in Romania, homicidal truck drivers, and floods in Turkey. Since then, he has ridden the equivalent of twice round the world across five continents. He still doesn't know what a carburettor is. This isn't a book about biking.
