Editorial reviews

Whether you're looking to plan your next vacation or you just enjoy the benefits of "armchair traveling", the iMinds travel series is a great way to discover new places. In this audiobook, performed with an infectious enthusiasm by Abbey Holmes, iMinds takes you to the hushed and storied grounds of Buckingham Palace, and teaches you why it is known for much more than just its statuesque guards. Sit back and enjoy the view, as the raucous London streets fade away and you're led down The Mall and into one of the most iconic palaces in the world.
