Title: Excellent volume of essays!
Product review: This is a book in the grand tradition of British travel writing, with a variety of short pieces by mostlyobscure writers recounting their experiences in various farflung corners of the world. However, it ismostly notable for Patrick Leigh Fermor's account of his swimming of the Hellespont at the age of 69, aswell as for three enthralling essays (including one on the little-visited Sakhalin island) by the alwayswonderful Simon Winchester.
