Ox Travels is an anthology of travel writing compiled to raise funds for Oxfam, but it is well worth buying and reading in its own right. Its generous 432 pages offer the chance to meet 36 writers, including travel writers, journalists and novelists, with an introduction by Michael Palin and an afterword by Barbara Stocking, Oxfam's Chief Executive.
Oxfam's earlier fundraising collections of short fiction, 4 volumes of Ox Tales, have been reviewed by the Bookbag – see [[Ox-Tales: Water by Oxfam|Ox Tales: Water]] here. Bookbag reviews of other books by Ox Travels contributors include [[Palestinian Walks: Notes from a Vanishing Landscape by Raja Shehadeh]], Tim Butcher's [[Chasing the Devil: On Foot Through Africa's Killing Fields by Tim Butcher|Chasing the Devil]], [[Access All Areas: Selected Writings 1990-2010 by Sara Wheeler|Access All Areas]] and [[The Magnetic North: Travels in the Arctic by Sara Wheeler|The Magnetic North]] by Sara Wheeler, and [[The Island That Dared: Journeys in Cuba by Dervla Murphy]].
