From the Bookshelf

Both of these delightful books are out of print, but there are quite a few copies available through Amazon. Across the Aegean and Road to Rome by Marlene McLoughlin are beautifully illustrated with her sketches and watercolours.
I admit, I can't resist a travel journal of any kind and Marlene has that ability to capture the essence of a place - wander through these books and feel the Mediterranean sun on your shoulders, smell the wine and listen to the wind through the cypress. If you've been - these will take you back and if you haven't - you'll feel like you have.
