Explore the landscapes and places that inspired great novels! Each of the 25 essays in the book briefly introduces you to the location, the era, and the history behind the story. Accompanied by a color drawing of the location, these destinations become characters in their own rights, rising up from behind the scenes to take center stage. -- adapted from introduction
