Manage episode 388875512 series 2935994
Sarah Anderson founded the iconic Travel Bookshop in 1979.
You might be familiar with it even if you’ve never been to London. It was the inspiration for the bookshop in the 1998 Hugh Grant / Julia Roberts film Notting Hill.
What are the biggest challenges of running a bookshop? Was there a ‘golden age’ of literary travel writing? Who are Sarah’s favourite forgotten writers about place?
I’ve got all that and more in the last Personal Landscapes episode of 2023. Talk about ending the year on a high note.
