Chasing the Tiger
The second book in the series is a fun work of fiction layered upon a factual description of an exotic life in the Himalayan nation of Nepal, written by an author in residence there. The latest tale is a fast-paced and exciting adventure where the main characters encounter the local wild-life and cultures, with lovely line drawings of the animals interspersed in the text as amusing and interesting bonus material. Though aimed primarily at readers in the 8- to 12-year old age range, this book will bring pleasure to all who open it.
50 Camels and She's Yours
What a wonderful selection of travel writing - the 5 authors each bring a different style and unique view on the world. Hivernel's "Why Mauritania?" transported me and made me look at my own world with different eyes. Immerse yourself in some armchair travels and there are even two reflections on the difficulty of coming home.

A Glimpse of Eternal Snows
This is a beautiful story, beautifully written. Wilson-Howarth’s style, at once both rich and spare, had me at the first paragraph. It’s one of those rare books that make you want to slow down to enjoy and ponder every sentence — but also speed up to find out what happens next. There is so much to relate to in this story “of love and loss,” and if you’ve never been to Nepal, so much to learn, too. Wilson-Howarth takes us on a journey of the heart, all while showing us the grand and minute details of a place most of us will never be able to see.
