Around the world in 11 books: Best reads for World Book Day


They say that a book is the cheapest kind of travel ticket. Good books can transport us to amazing places, without even requiring us to leave the comfort of our armchairs. To celebrate World Book Day on April 23, we wanted to pay tribute to titles that opened our eyes to fantastic settings we could only dream about.

Then we discovered that list would be never-ending.... So we decided to add a little twist to our criteria by featuring books that have countries or place names in their titles. Might one of these might be the inspiration for your next holiday, perhaps?
