Sheltering in place might be limiting our mobility, but to paraphrase author Jhumpa Lahiri, books let you travel when you can’t move your feet. This month's Recommended Reading Virtual Display features books on travel in its many forms. Find books like Rambles in Germany and Italy, a travelogue by Mary Shelley; Voyager from Xanadu by Morris Rossabi, the story of the first traveler from China to Jerusalem in the thirteenth century; and No Horizon is So Far, Liv Arneson and Ann Bancroft’s memoir of their journey across Antarctica.
