Two Canadian women find themselves the only tourists in Syria in Carla Wilson's delightful Christmas at The Krak, when they leave behind their English-teaching jobs in (alcoholically) dry Kuwait to spend a Bordeaux-saturated and eye-opening Christmas at the Krak Des Chevaliers crusader fortress outside Homs in 2006.

TRAVEL 6 of 1, the first series of short travel essays from P+H Books, contains stories that stretch right from the moment of birth to the sometimes surprisingly colourful business of death. There are tales of arrivals and departures, ships that have sailed and ships that have come in. There are stories of festivities perched on the brink of a war zone, on the brim of the Mediterranean and on the banks of the Mississippi.

Our authors have contributed tales of Accra, Ghana; Valencia, Spain; Memphis, Tennessee; Damascus, Syria; plus a mixtape of port calls and cruise jobs from Hong Kong to Alaska through the Panama Canal and on to the Caribbean; and a journey that perhaps travels further than any of the others, yet doesn’t leave Boston, Massachusetts.
