  Each year, more American families travel to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland than any other foreign tourist destination. But how can parents keep young travellers engaged in their surroundings and interested in the trip? ONCE UP A TIME IN GREAT BRITAIN author Melanie Wentz provides information about attractions, restaurants and other sights tied to dozens of beloved children's books and authors throughout the British Isles and includes many of the books' classic illustrations. Each chapter covers classics such as: Winnie the Pooh, Peter Rabbit (and other Beatrix Potter tales) and Paddington Bear for the younger tourists. Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden for older children. C S Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and J K Rowling's Harry Potter books for all readers. Wentz also helps travellers make the most of visits to the towns and other sights that inspired magical worlds of such authors as Roald Dahl, JRR Tolkien and Dr. Dolittle's Hugh Lofting, among many others. From parents who grew up on Wind in the Willows and Peter Pan to kids who thrill to Babe or Harry Potter, this book will make the family trip to Great Britain a hit for the whole family.
