How can people work on trains? Read on trains? There is so much happening outside! With these words, World Fantasy and Hugo Award-nominated artist Kathleen Jennings opens the door to a graceful, nuanced world of travel vignettes. With an affinity for words that’s equal to her celebrated artwork, Jennings captures the passing landscape with an illustrator’s eye for detail and a poet’s command of rich language and startling metaphors. Originally published over the span of three years while travelling across Massachusetts, New York State, and England, Travelogues collects Kathleen’s travel vignettes together for the first time. Each of these nine journeys is infused with wonder and rich, unfamiliar landscapes, and those who climb aboard will forever look at train travel with new eyes.

Excerpt from Vignettes of Travel: Some Comparative Sketches in England and Italy The Entrance-Porch to England - An Initial Walk - The Old Home - Vitiation of the Language - The Soldier and the Beggar - Coming Differentiation of the English and American Language - The Vignette Cathedral Scene of England. Chester is the vignette scene of England, and a very charming one. Within fifteen miles of Liverpool, and trains running out almost hourly, the experienced traveller can, and the judicious one will, avoid that monotonous town consecrated to trade and lucre, and spend his first night in England in a little country village representative and typical of the most English of English scenery. Indeed, if circumstances permit, I would advise that the visitor walk from Liverpool to Chester. It is a short distance, over excellent roads, and the walk will give one at once an idea of English landscape which it would take weeks of railway travel to acquire. The walk will be made along green lanes and by hedges and under avenues of great trees which form a picture not to be forgotten, and answering completely to what is, perhaps, the conventional conception of any well-read person of rural England. To an educated American, indeed, all England is so familiar by pictures, literature, and legend that, entering it for the first time, he feels as if he were coming home again instead of visiting a strange land, - as if he had been there before in a half-remembered childhood or in a dream, and were part of it.

When Joshua Samuel Brown first stepped out of the passenger terminal at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taiwan, he was a stranger in a humid land with insufficient funds, zero job prospects and an over-packed suitcase. Like much else in his life up to that point, his decision to move to Taiwan was based largely on random occurrence and cosmic coincidence. He was twenty-four years old, thousands of miles away from home, and at that moment the happiest man alive. This anthology of short stories, travel essays, photographs, random meditations, and political meanderings grew out of his years on the island formerly known as Formosa.

When I booked a trip to Greece with my kids, I had no idea it would be our last vacation together. Travel with us to an ancient fountain of life, a fresh look at old myths, a wrong turn into a mountain village that turned out unimaginably right... and a string of coincidences so personally moving that I've come to believe in the possibility of miracles.
