Travels in The North is a travelogue about a trip (taken some years earlier) through Denmark, Norway and Sweden penned by Karel Čapek in the 1930s. Written in an endearingly frank and reflective but humourous central European style it also incorporates many brilliant and idiosyncratic pen & ink drawings by the author. The pages are full of illustrations, at least one every other page, which make it beautiful to flick though as well as read
This early work by Karel Čapek was originally published in Czech under the title "Cesta na sever" in 1936 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
