is to inspire your readers with a sense of the diversity of our
planet and its wonders, both man-made and natural. It also provides
a true sense of what travel is for as we see those young
adventurers meeting local people and joining in with them in a wide
range of different activities."

over again.’ ‘ Atlas of Adventures, our new favourite book’

new imprint called Wide Eyed Editions which we are really excited

comes next!’ "Reading maps doesn’ t have to be boring. In fact it
