'Travellers Tales from Heaven and Hell' is a compilation of the best entries in a world-wide competition. These are stories that typically get told down the pub, and we were overwhelmed by the response and hope that the stories reflect a balance of amusing, evocative and informative tales. It is interesting to note that the youngest contributor was 10 years old and the oldest ninety, demonstrating that just about everyone has travelled in some capacity and the subject appeals to an incredible number of people. People travel for many reasons- some looking to escape and some looking for adventure. This book captures the essence of travelling- to experience the unknown, be it heavenly or hellish, and return to tell the tale.
