About The Book

Shreya Sen-Handley's Handle with Care is a blithe and zippy travelogue that chronicles her adventures around the globe. In tow, most of the time, is the 'quirky clan' comprising her British husband, their two children, and their dog.

Here are tales of the world beyond south Kolkata and Sherwood Forest - places they call home. From much-loved Indian locales like Rajasthan and Kerala to bustling international capitals like New York and Paris, from English idylls like Dorset and Haworth to the sleepy pleasures of Corfu - the journeys are described in vivid detail, seasoned with humour, and sprinkled with wise trip-tips. No matter how gruelling the trek, you weather the storms well, and while you're about it, have tons of fun, food and epiphanies. Mishaps or not, one learns, there is always magic to find.

These are delightful stories that'll take you places without having to move an inch!
