Julian Holland Volgorde van de boeken
Vanaf jonge leeftijd werd deze auteur omgeven door de romantiek van spoorwegen, een passie aangewakkerd door zijn jeugdige omgeving en de blijvende aanwezigheid van stoom. Deze diepgewortelde fascinatie ontwikkelde zich tot een levenslange passie die zijn uitgebreide oeuvre vormde. Met een uniek visueel gevoel, verfijnd door een carrière als grafisch ontwerper en art director bij vooraanstaande Londense uitgeverijen, duikt zijn schrijven in de ingewikkelde geschiedenis, de esthetische aantrekkingskracht en de vaak onvertelde verhalen van spoorwegnetwerken in heel Groot-Brittannië en de wereld.
