Travel-quest's literary appreciation section is for holidays, vacations, short breaks, weekends and residential courses based on the study and appreciation of literary work, including fiction and poetry. These courses may also include a study of the writers, authors and poets that create the work. The courses may be located in study centres, retreats and holiday locations that have no specific literary connection themselves – tours to literary destinations are dealt with in a separate category.
