222pp, decorated. In illustrated hard card covers with cloth spine. Coloured endpapers, finely produced book. Small scuff on endpaper. In its original slipcase, as issued, with a few small, insignificant marks. A collection of tales of impossible journeys. The author classifies a journey as being impossible if it is attempted to a place that does not exist, if the journey is no longer possible or if it was fraudulently claimed. twenty four such journeys are described, from Sir Walter Raleigh searching for El Dorado to Chaucer’s tale of King Arthur’s conquest of the North Pole. Beautiful volume in gift & collector’s condition.
