AUTHOR NICK HUNT PUBLISHER JOHN MURRAY PRESS PRICE £16.99 / $21.95 RELEASE OUT NOW
Acclaimed travel writer Nick Hunt has once again penned a travel book full of wit and insight that makes you feel as though you’re right beside him as he treks through some unusual and unique places in Europe. Hunt explores a patch of tundra in Scotland, a jungle in Poland, a desert in Spain and a steppe in Hungary, going far beyond the remit of other travel books to offer a first-hand account of extraordinary places in Europe along with his personal experiences and gentle humour.
Along his travels, Hunt makes sure to emphasise the environmental impact climate change is having on natural landscapes and the importance of preserving these seemingly ‘misplaced’ places. Full of fascinating facts about the history and mythology of each location and its wild inhabitants, this is a must-read for any travel enthusiast. You’ll struggle with the urge to immediately go out and have your own travel adventures after reading this book.
