Anyway, great list! I'm a big fan of fantasy quests and epic journeys, but I like real-life travel stories if they're compelling and have interesting twists. I'm so happy to see Narnia on your list! I'm reading these books now with my son, and Dawn Treader is up next!<br /><br />Lisa<br /><br /><a href="http://bookshelffantasies.com/2013/06/03/top-ten-tuesday-planes-trains-automobiles-top-ten-books-featuring-travel/" rel="nofollow">My<br />TTT</a>Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150746199598958569.post-45575403119993552572013-06-04T11:54:07.757-06:002013-06-04T11:54:07.757-06:00Ah!
