Eloquent, astute, nimble with history and deftly amusing, Travels in a Thin Country established Sara Wheeler as one of the very best travel writers in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSara Wheeler\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books of biography and travel, including \u003ci\u003eAccess\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAll Areas: Selected Writings 1990-2011 \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTravels in a Thin Country: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Journey Through Chile\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eTerra Incognita: Travels\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ein Antarctica \u003c\/i\u003ewas an international bestseller that \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times \u003c\/i\u003edescribed as \"gripping, emotional\" and \"compelling,\" and \u003ci\u003eThe Magnetic North: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Arctic Circle \u003c\/i\u003ewas chosen as Book of the Year by Michael Palin and Will Self, among others.
