The Star Malaysia - Star2

Around the world in books

Ahead of World Book Day tomorrow, we embark on a globetrott­ing journey crafted by words.

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.

Ahead of World Book Day tomorrow, 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?
