"With these swashbuckling short-form travel essays from literary powerhouses like Ann Patchett, Alexander McCall Smith, and Pico Iyer, you'll be inspired with the take on the world. It's just outside the door."
"A collection of 35 short stories to inspire your wanderlust. Buy a ticket to Vienna with Ann Patchett, wander Kathmandu with Pico Iyer, and discover magic in Morocco with Tahir Shah."
"The writing is sometimes sumptuous, sometimes sparse, exploring internal growth in striking exteriors...Stories have both moving and seemingly mundane subjects, from the cremation of loved ones to the simple act of sharing a home-cooked meal. These essays span lessons learned, challenges overcome and horizons broadened; ultimately, this anthology beautifully reflects the illuminating power of travel."
"Sparkling gems ... The themes, styles and settings encompass the gritty, exotic, romantic, melancholy and amusing. These are multi-layered journeys of a literal and metaphorical kind that sharpen the senses and will surely trigger reflections and contemplations in the reader themselves. "
"George has done an admirable job curating this anthology; the transportative quality of each piece makes you want to hunt around for your passport."
