Cornhill to Grand Cairo

A Victorian travelogue tracing the overland route from London to Egypt, this gem captures the colour, chaos, and wonder of 19th-century travel through Europe and the Near East. Written with the keen observations and wit characteristic of the era, it's a fascinating window into a world of steamships, caravansaries, and cross-cultural encounters before modern tourism changed everything. Perfect for armchair travellers, history buffs, and anyone who loves a good vintage adventure narrative.
