Mystical Places

Mystical Places by Sarah Baxter

This is a truly enchanting book! Baxter takes us to mystical places all over the world, and shares tales of their history and significance. Some are rooted in local lore, some in legend, and some in just a general feeling of aged-ness and importance. As a fantasy reader who also loves to travel, this was a beautiful fusion that really caught my interest and imagination. Each location she discusses has a few pages of text paired with beautiful illustrations, which made this the perfect book to have on my side table for when I just needed a quick escape.

I read this as a digital arc from Netgalley, but I am definitely adding a hardcopy to my booklist as well as the others Baxter has written (Spiritual Places, Hidden Places: An Inspired Traveller's Guide and Literary Places) because I thoroughly enjoyed this pairing of art, travel and story.
