My favorite journey book is Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta, 1325-1354 told and illustrated by James Rumford. It is a unique account of this 14th century traveler's journey from Morocco to China, from the steppes of Russia to the shores of Tanzania. It is an amazing combination of words, pictures, maps, an account of a man's journey.
What I like especially are the very wise nuggets dropped into the text of why we travel.
:"Traveling," I said to myself later. "It makes you lonely, then gives you a friend."
"Traveling- it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." Houghton Mifflin, 2001
I hope it is still in print.
