More Great Railway Journeys

More about the book

Their journeys range from the far flung to the more familiar, from Argentina, where Buck Henry follows the cowboy trail, to northern Britain, where comedienne Victoria Wood visits seaside towns and deserted stations. In Africa, the young explorer Benedict Allen follows in the footsteps of some of the great Victorian explorers as he goes in search of the source of the Nile, while further south, the American poet Henry Louis Gates Jr learns more about his African heritage as he journeys from Zimbabwe to Tanzania.
