Rory Allardice; Rory's Travel Journals; New Anthology; 24 Countries, 40 Years

The new anthology 

Rory writes:

'This is my longest and most varied work and it is the best book to start with as it an anthology of travel writings from 24 countries over 5 decades.

When my 11^th travel journal was published, I decided that it was time for an anthology of my various travel writings over the years.

This would include excerpts from all the published works (including a chapter from my father’s autobiography, which I edited) and it would also contain writings from unpublished materials, spanning a period of 40 years.

It is written chronologically. It includes selected personal timelines, which incorporate cultural and historical moments and flavours, and I realise that it is (unintentionally) quite autobiographical.

It was fun writing this book. It is my biggest book to date; at over 350 pages and it is lavishly illustrated with original photographs.

I hope that I have managed to express the joys and frustrations as well as the wonders of travel and that I manage to bring a few smiles to those who read the book and that maybe I inspire some of you to visit the safer places in the selection.'

The book is available in paperback and in digital (Kindle) format.
