The Open Road
:
A Little Book for Wayfarers
, anthology, ed. E. V. Lucas (1899). âA garland of good and enkindling poetry and prose fitted to urge folk into the open air, and once there, to keep them glad they came.' With a green buckram binding âand a flight of gilded swallows on the cover', it was Chatwin's most cherished travel book, along with Osip Mandelstam's
Journey to Armenia
(1933) and Robert Byron's
The Road to Oxiana
(1937).
