Take a grand literary tour of Europe with this fascinating companion guide. Follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and James Baldwin in Paris and the route of Madame Bovary’s carriage ride in Rouen; visit the castle overlooking the Rhine valley that lends its name to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the secret annex in an Amsterdam house where Anne Frank wrote her diary; and finally relax in the restaurants and cafés frequented by Nordic-noir heroes such as Harry Hole and Kurt Wallander.  

Travelling across the continent, this highly evocative guide takes in museums, cafés and bars, author residences, bookshops and cemeteries, as well as celebrating great cities such as Dublin, Venice and Berlin that have inspired so many writers.The Book Lover’s European Bucket List is sure to encourage you to visit a new place, read a new book or, ideally, both.
