The long overdue #Eland Christmas celebration took place this weekend and it was well worth the wait. Featuring a moonlit walk, Rose’s sumptuous salmon with herbs from the garden and a taste of the outstanding @thegrangewine sparkling pink, we feasted and talked into the night. Seasonal greetings to all our readers from Marg, Barnaby, Rose, Steph, & Jennie @marg.corcoran @stephallennewell @jenharrisonbunning With thanks to the Tom’s & the office dogs for back-up @tombunning #celebration #thegrangepark #travelwriter #travelwriting #books #goodfood #sparklingwine #arlesford #northington #moonlight #walk #moonlitwalk #thegrangenorthington

Alongside Dilly the parrot and the labyrinth of shelving that houses @petersfieldbookshop’s magnificent #secondhandbooks stock is a table devoted to ‘The Things That Fall From Books’ - shopping lists, old postcards, bookmarks and other bits & pieces - a browser’s paradise #books #petersfield #slightlyfoxed With thanks to @foxedquarterly for the company #independentbookshops #hampshire #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #thethingsthatfallfrombooks #reading #readmorebooks #bookshops #rarebooks #secondhandbookshop
Just a short walk from one of our regular haunts @onetreebooks in #Petersfield is the magical grotto that is the @petersfieldbookshop It is overflowing with #secondhandbooks and some weird and wonderful ephemera- including a spooky butler, a telephone box and Dilly the parrot. Spotted on the front desk, nestling alongside a display of @persephonebooks was the Eland edition of Fanny Parkes, ‘Begums, Thugs and White Mughals’. It is so worth a visit - you will not fail to walk away without a purchase #books #bookstagram #bookshop #bookshelf #slightlyfoxedontour #travelwriting #travel #booksofinstagram #booksofinstagram #independentbookshops #hampshire
Spotted at one of our favourite bookshops @onetreebooks in #Petersfield (while browsing with our friends from @foxedquarterly) is a little feast of Eland titles and face out, this summer’s ‘must read’ @isambardwilkinson ‘s Travels in a Dervish Cloak. Read about the #Pakistan behind the headlines. ‘A modern classic’ @jason.goodw1n in #TheOldie #independentpublishing #bookshop #booksofinstagram #readmorebooks #independentbookshop #ontourwithslightlyfoxed #bookstagram #partition #travelwriters #travel #dervish Bard will be talking about his book and Pakistan @onetreebooks on the 7th November
Rosita hasn’t featured in our Instagram posts for a while, so here she is.

The great Thomas Cook - a man of principle and founder of one of the earliest travel agencies - outside the station where he first arranged for a group of temperance campaigners to travel from Leicester to Loughborough on the newly established Midlands County Railways. This first foray led to larger movements of temperance societies around the country and from there to grand tours of Europe. No doubt Mr Cook would delight in the ease with which we travel today - although he might not approve of the lack of temperance! #leicester #leicestercity #leicesterstation #railways #railtravel @thomascookuk #travel #leicesterbornandbred #europeantravel #travelagent #travelmore #exploretheworld #loughborough #midlands #eastmidlands #travelhistory #temperance #teetotal
This stunning mosaic from the Roman city of Zeugma in southern Turkey reminds us of the old Turkish proverb ‘the dog barks but the caravan moves on’ from which the title of Irfan Orga’s classic study of nomadic life is taken, The Caravan Moves On #IrfanOrga #caravans #nomads #nomadiclife #travel #travelwriting #dogsofinstagram #mosiac #roman #zeugma #southernturkey #turkey #classictravel #turkish #turkishnomads #turkey

One of the joys of working in Eland’s attic office is the proliferation of books (there will obviously always be a good read to hand) and the objects collected from travels around the globe ... here sits the office #globe - an essential in any travel publisher’s life- alongside old books, new books, Barnaby’s embroidered hat (picked up in Istanbul) and his grandfather’s First World War helmet, plus a most useful ashtray for anyone who still cares for the odd cigarette, candlesticks, Persian bowls ... a glorious mix #officelife #books #bookshelves #candlesticks #travels #travelwriting #writerslife #publishing #travelbooks #travelpublishing #persia #turkish #hats #writing #otherpeoplesbookshelves #bookshelf #lifewithbooks #bookshelves #bookshelvesofinstagram #bookstagram #exmouthmarket
‘Jonathan Raban is the only person I listen to in matters of travel and books and writing in general. Reading him, talking to him, as I have over fifty years, has made my work better and me happier.’ #PaulTheroux on #JonathanRaban Today is publication day for Eland’s five Raban reissues #Coasting #Arabia #ForLoveandMoney #HuntingMrHeartbreak and #OldGlory. We love this quote from Theroux, this must be the summer to discover or rediscover the delights of reading Raban #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #america #sailing #writing #travelwriting #writers #travelbooks #travel #author #theroux #writingquote #onwriting #booksofinstagram #books #travelling

JONATHAN RABAN: ‘I got drunk in Torquay, had a fit of memoirs in Portsmouth, turned lyrical in Brighton and philosophical off Beachy Head, was affronted in Dover, ill in Harwich, happy in Grimsby, maudlin in Bridlington, was pleased with myself on Holy Island, got drunk again in Leith, was superior in Inverness, fell in love in Oban and out of love by Stranraer, was at my wit’s end in Dublin, said some very clever things in Fishguard, lost my temper off Land’s End and summed things up pretty neatly in Falmouth.’ If you’ve read #JonathanRaban ‘s #Coasting then it’s worth a reread for his crystal prose. If you haven’t read it - add it to your summer list. Raban’s exploration of England and the English at the time of the Falklands War as he sails around Britain single-handed in an antique two-masted boat is peerless. #sailing #britain #england #travel #travelwriting #writersofinstagram #norfolk #beach #cromerpier #cromer #books #uktravel #sailing #singlehanded #falklands #writers #falklandswar #sailingaroundtheuk
