with Storybook Travels: From Eloise's New York to Harry Potter's London, Visits to 30 of the Best-Loved Landmarks in Children's Literature (Three Rivers, May) by Colleen Dunn Bates and Susan LaTempa and Once Upon a Time in Great Britain: A Travel Guide to the Sights and Settings of Your Favorite Children's Stories (St. Martin's/Griffin, Aug.) by Melanie Wentz. At SMP, assistant editor Joanna Jacobs says, "Melanie, who's an American, spent a year with her husband and young daughter visiting sites in England, Scotland and Ireland tied to such classics as Peter Pan, The Secret Garden, Winnie the Pooh, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter." Becky Cabaza, Three Rivers executive editor, remarks, "Why give up that trip to Tuscany just because junior enters the picture? Why not visit the Tuscan village that Pinocchio is based on?" She underscores that for those who prefer to stay closer to home, a roundup of nearer sites includes De Smet, S.D., of Little House on the Prairie fame, Anne of Green Gables 's Prince Edward Island and even Belmont Park, where the Black Stallion triumphed.
Amber Books publisher Tony Rose describes Jon Haggins as America's premier African-American travel guide, adding that he "takes readers to many places of color." In The African-American Travel Guide to Hot, Exotic & Fun-Filled Places (Amber, Apr.), Haggins points out sights of particular interest in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, even Fiji. "People tend to think of Africa as one place," says Rose, "but really it's much like Europe. Each African country has its own personality, language, dialects, food. As with any culture, you have the things that are part of your background, and Jon sets the pace for going back to your roots, to what Africa is all about. You see Africa as what it has always been, a place of groupings--families, marketplaces, villages." Along with insights into historic relevance, Haggins provides practical information on what to take along, necessary shots to have in advance, restaurants, hotels, etc. "A lot of people don't know that Africa has wonderful beaches," says Rose, "especially the Ivory Coast. I know. I've been there."
sometimes food is the whole reason for leaving the kitchen range behind. So why not recipes in a travel book? That's what Pascale Le Draoulec wondered. Now restaurant critic for the New York Daily News, she was working in San Francisco when she got a a job offer in New York. "I'd always wanted to drive across America," she says. "I looked at the map, and it made sense to make this a culinary quest." Since pie, she realized, is found everywhere, her search evolved into American Pie: Slices of Life (and Pie) from America's Back Roads (HarperCollins, May). "I'd pull up in a small town, find a local person and ask where to go for pie. Sometimes they would point me to a café and sometimes they would take me into their homes." Le Draoulec rolls out about 30 recipes and recounts many stories of people and their pies, from a Juneberry Pie on a Crow reservation in Montana to one of her favorites, Apple Blueberry Pie in Natchez, Miss. Recalling a different continent and cuisine, James Haller provides recipes, too, in his account of a month-long stay in Savonnieres, Vie de France: Sharing Food, Friendship and a Kitchen in the Loire Valley (Berkley, June). Wait, there's more: noted food editor Ruth Reichl marries food and travel in Endless Feasts: Sixty Years of Writing from Gourmet (Modern Library, Apr.).
Mullenneaux in Sleep Cheap in New York: High-Quality Lodgings at Rock-Bottom Rates (Penington Press, Jan.). "I want more people to know you don't have to be rich to enjoy New York's best and brightest. As new hotels open and old hotels expand, there is affordable lodging at reasonable rates in all five boroughs." Midtown Manhattan? Try the Red Roof Inn, where low-season room rates are $89. Something near Lincoln Center? There's a boutique hotel, On the Ave, offering a double for $125. If it's more than a bed that's required in New York, a true skinflint can find free belly-dancing classes, free haircuts at leading salons, free theater tickets, even free pet food for that hairy traveling companion with the advice Rob Grader hands out in The Cheap Bastard's Guide to New York City: A Native New Yorker's Secrets of Living the Good Life--For Free! (Globe Pequot, Aug.).
