To help fuel our wanderlust, the luxury travel company Black Tomato has launched 'Take me on a Story', a new collection of magical itineraries inspired by five classic children's books. From an interactive tea party and a costume-making workshop in Oxfordshire that nods to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to learning survival skills in an Alaskan landscape reminiscent of Jack London's Call of the Wild, there's a trip for every genre.
