The last two episodes have covered news topics like economic uncertainty and the troubles at Newark, so this week we're going in a different direction: Literary tourism. That is, tours and travel based on a favorite book or character. Think Bath for Jane Austen or Prince Edward Island for L.M. Montgomery. London, Paris and New York .... any place a book club can dream up, there's probably a literary tour (or could be one).

In this episode we talk about why literary tourism is growing in popularity with tours editor Brinley Hineman and Active England's head of commercial, Gaby Cecil.
