Virago Press and the Asham Award, the foremost prize for stories by women, present a collection of tales to send you to places you've never been before . . .
Here are tales of people who travel far and those who stay at home and dream; of strange things in suitcases; of roads that should not have been taken; of exotic cities and shabby towns. Some are running away, and some are travelling to come home.
With new stories from well-known writers, including Helen Dunmore, and an Angela Carter fable, this is a book to tuck in your backpack, your valise or to enjoy, deep in your armchair, for no one can fail to be hooked by those beguiling words: once upon a time there was a traveller . . .

Nesbit, Enid Blyton, Flora Annie Steel, Francis Hodgson Burnett, Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll, Margery Williams, Mark Twain, Nathanial Hawthorne, Oscar Wilde, R.K. Narayan, Robert Browning, Rudyard Kipling, Somadeva, Sukumar Ray, The Brothers Grimm, Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury.
