Recenzii

If you are someone, or know someone, who is romanced by stamps, or maps, or names, or journeys, or plaques - someone whose head is always popping up from the papers or a Radio 4 documentary with the words "did you know?" then I recommend this book to you. I loved it. It deserves a shelf of its own
A rich, thought-stirring and deeply engaging blend of travelogue, memoir and historical investigation
A performance that resists easy compartmentalisation ... This is clever and informative entertainment.
