I marked passages that enthused me & so gathered a library that was annotated by triangular corner-folds & barely decipherable jottings. This was my own inadvertent wool-gathering... Scraps of Wool is a celebration of travel writing, bringing together in a single volume passages that have enthralled generations of readers, encouraged them to dream of exploration & set off on journeys of their own. Compiled by Bill Colegrave, its excerpts have been selected by today’s travel writers & journalists, who have revealed the books that influenced them: Dervla Murphy, Tony Wheeler, Rory Mac Lean, Pico Iyer, Jan Morris, Colin Thubron, Artemis Cooper, Sara Wheeler, Alexander Frater & many more. Each of these scraps is a document of the writer’s passion for place – thick equatorial jungle, the soft ergs of the Sahara, Patagonian steppe – & each story, each memory will transport you to a different corner of the globe, & maybe even inspire you to plan your own great adventure. ...

When you’ve visited a country, instead of revealing colours underneath the removable foil, the places you’ve visited disappear, leaving those yet to explore. Still with us? It also comes in a clear tube. Fancy. For best results, use a coin on a flat surface to remove the foil (NB, please press lightly). ...
