Books

Richard Peck’s columns take you from Father’s Day in Italy to reveille in China. . . from tree-climbing Kauai chickens to salt-smuggling in Switzerland – a champagne cocktail of little adventures, all of them deftly crafted, warm and funny. Perfect armchair travel, recalling memorable trips you’ve taken, mixed with tantalizing visits to places you’ve never seen. And addictive: you can’t stop at just one.

Reviews -

Baedeker, Cook’s Tour, forget them all. Peck’s travel stories are better and more fun than the hassles of travel. You don’t have to take off your shoes or show your passport. And you’ll love Peck’s quirky view of the people he’s met and the places he’s been.

You’ll want to read Pecks novels after enjoying these delightfully sharp travel tales. The man wields more blades than a Swiss Army knife.
