A rare foray into travel writing for me & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Palin writes with a light touch, with warmth & wit, humour and, when necessary, gravity, throwing in the occasional surprisingly poetic turn of phrase. More importantly, he manages to evoke the atmosphere of the place & convey his experiences in a measured & accessible manner. Palin's vivid descriptions are supported by a host of photos, making for an immersive experience. 🐪🐫🐪🐫

Starting this one today. It's weird, I've never been interested in travel or nature writing before but suddenly I feel a need to immerse myself fully in both genres. Any recommendations?

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm This one is my absolute favorite by this author. It‘s what put Australia in the top three places I want to visit someday. 4y
