The story of George Behrend and Vincent Kelly's epic journey across Europe and around Turkey captures the glamor of the Orient Expess and their impressions of the people and places encountered. Anyone who has travelled in Europe or visited Turkey will find something that reflects their own experiences and this account makes an interesting comparison with the Turkey of today. Appendices include the CIWL Istanbul division fleet list and a fresh listing of TCDD (Turkish Railways) steam locomotive classes.
