Description
A travelogue exploring the life and work of George Orwell through the places he lived, worked and wrote
Following in the footsteps of his literary hero, researcher and historian Oliver Lewis set out to visit all the places to have inspired and been lived in by George Orwell.
Over three years he travelled from Wigan to Catalonia, Paris to Motihari, Marrakesh to Eton, and in each location explored both how Orwell experienced the place, and how the place now remembers him as a literary icon.
Beginning in Northern India, where Orwell was born in 1903, and ending in the Oxfordshire village of Sutton Courtenay, where he was laid to rest in 1950, The Orwell Tour offers an accessible and informative new biography of Orwell through the lens of place.

Lesley B, Reviewer
I was sent this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review, so here it is. As something of an Orwell fan and someone who loves reading travel books, combining the two was perfect. I felt myself being transported to the places the author himself visited and I absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend.
