Reviews

Those familiar with Toth's My Love Affair with England (LJ 8/92) will readily acknowledge her charming, conversational writing style. Her new book is an excellent combination of guide and autobiographical travel writing that will benefit both armchair and potential travelers while entertaining them at the same time. Toth is a strong believer in planning one's own itinerary; her "thumbprint theory of travel" encourages leisurely travel and well-planned exploration of small areas. To enforce this concept, she gives readers a collection of travel essays that recap journeys to Padstow, Helston, and Chedington in England as well as Gairloch and Nairn in Scotland. She concludes with highlights of eight of her favorite destinations. What is most striking about Toth's book is her ability to weave a wealth of information throughout a highly readable text. Recommended as a worthwhile addition to any library travel section.
