Penguin Great Journeys

This page is to collect together links from another Penguin reading project – the Penguin Great Journeys set.

This is an older collection, and I don’t have all of them but as there are only 20 they should hopefully be relatively easy to collect! I have marked the books I need in italics and will update as and when I acquire copies…
