First Class- Legendary Train Journeys Around The World

Posted by Ruth Miller on Mon 21st January 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Travel Books

This book has come in for much praise for it’s depiction of memorable journeys on the Orient Express, le Train Bleu, the California Zephyr, and others across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The text takes you through encounters with porters, bellboys, millionaires, kings and maharajas who were their clients.

Adventures cover 11 journeys recommended by d’Arvor (the author) who has travelled the world by train - lucky chap!!

A nice touch is the beautiful slipcase which is designed to resemble a steamer trunk.

The First Class: Legendary Train Journeys Around The World is a great read for the travel by train enthusiast. Retails for £18.95 ($38).
