OxTravels is a collection of travel writing. It was put together to raise funds for Oxfam and contains stories by 36 travel writers. I picked it up largely due to the inclusion of Rory Stewart, author of The Places in Between]and The Prince of the Marshes. It turned out to contain writing by a number of other authors I enjoy such as William Dalrymple and Paul Theroux. Overall, the collection was excellent. While I enjoyed some stories more than others, I thought all were enjoyable at some level. The variety of locations and stories really made the book more readable and engaging.
For what it is worth, the piece by Rory Stewart was one of the stories that I found less engaging. While I think he is an excellent writer, his story in OxTravels is not what I would recommend as an introduction to Stewart.
