Our “Children’s” Book of the Month for March is Epic Journeys by Sam G. C. and Raquel Martín. 

Notice how we have put the word “children’s” in quotations. When we saw this book we fell in love immediately because we get so many customers coming to Stanfords planning adventures on these very routes. We think it’s also wonderful for adults to get an overview of so many great trails, voyages, and journeys throughout history in one beautifully illustrated book.

Watch Raquel Martín introduce Epic Journeys:

Epic Journeys: Incredible Tales of Amazing Trails

Available now for £14.95

Sam G. C. and Raquel Martín undertake their most ambitious and original work to date: the history of the routes that women and men have taken throughout the ages. Sam’s telling of mankind’s migrations around the world will have readers dreaming, while Raquel’s entrancing illustrations inspire a journey of the imagination. The Silk Road, the Trans-Siberian railway, the Camino de Santiago, the Appian Way, the Cathar Way, and the Inca Trail are just a few examples of how humankind’s great routes are much more than simple journeys.
