In the past few years, many of us have begun to explore the idea of a "staycation," but like everything else, it requires practice. Offering thought-provoking ideas and quotations from a host of literary figures, Jenny Herbert takes us on a journey through our neighborhood streets and our local parks, through museums and libraries, art galleries and bookshops. With beautiful illustrations throughout, this guide demonstrates that travelling near home offers the greatest potential for us to discover what contributes to our wellbeing and our happiness.
