Books that inspired you to travel

Marshalsea prison
A woman and children walk past the remaining wall of Marshalsea prison in London on February 6, 2012 where the father of British author Charles Dickens was incarcerated in 1824 for a debt to a baker. Dickens immortalised this experience as the Marchalsea setting for his novel 'Little Dorrit.'
