Summary

This quote suggests that travel writers are drawn to explore and describe places that evoke a sense of mystery and wonder, realms that may exist only in the realms of imagination. It implies that these writers are not merely interested in traditional tourist destinations, but rather in uncovering the hidden and forgotten places that hold a certain allure and captivate the human imagination. By seeking the "lost valleys of the imagination," they hope to transport readers to an alternate reality and offer a glimpse into the extraordinary corners of the world.
