Let’s start with one of my
favourite topics; volcanoes! I’ve been fascinated by them since childhood, and
these are two books I read quite early on which made me want to go and see them
for myself. Verne’s classic features characters entering the bowels of the
Earth via a European volcano, which
fired up my imagination, whilst Tremain’s children’s book, which is out of
print now, tells the story of a young British-Sicilian boy who is whisked off
to his mother’s village on the slopes of Mount
Etna, and finds himself and his family caught up in a devastating eruption.
This is one of the two volcanoes I’ve managed to reach so far, and climbing it
was an amazing experience.
Have any books inspired you to travel?
