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 11th 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edited) and it would also contain writings from unpublished materials, spanning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.
