Travel with a Writer

The Walking Tree’s global literary travel series presents places with a combination of dynamic storytelling, insightful observation, cultural references, and curated itineraries. 
Written by acclaimed authors who know their subject intimately, these books give even armchair tourists a local’s understanding of the place: its rhythms, its customs, its contradictions, and the thousands of everyday details that make it tick.
Place by place, a global literary atlas takes shape.
