A chance to sample the joys of travel writing as we take in the outdoor beauty of autumnal Petworth Park. In his most recent compendium, the former BBC Senior Producer and now travel writer and anthologist reads from his latest volume Globetrotting in which he brings together over fifty walker-writers who have travelled the seven continents. Contributors include Edith Wharton, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, D. H. Lawrence, Isabella Bird, Katherine Mansfield, Colin Thubron, William Boyd and many more, Globetrotting takes us across the streets of London, Rome, Melbourne, Cairo, Kyiv and Kabul; through the frozen wastes of Antarctica; along the pilgrim paths of Japan; into the jungles of Ghana; and around the Great Wall of China. All in one afternoon in West Sussex….
