Another No.1 bestseller from Michael Palin. His books dominate the bestseller list - Himalaya was No.1 for 11 consecutive weeks. His TV series regularly outperform all other television documentary series by a very large factor. Huge audiences for the TV of between 9 and 11 million, and winning many prestigious awards. This paperback is great value - includes many colour photographs and the full text of the hardback. Palin always gets massive coverage: 'Brisk, fresh ? makes you want to go where he has gone' Daily Telegraph. 'Coupled with his eye for detail, he has the diarist's willingness to try anything and to laugh at himself ? travel-writing of unpretentious charm and enjoyable originality' Independent. 'Palin's forte as a writer is his personal response to the people and events he encounters ... The ultimate armchair travel book' Guardian. 'He observes shrewdly, writes wittily; laughs with, not at, the people he meets, and charmingly slips in a huge amount of information. His approach still towers above its imitators' Independent.
Michael Palin established his reputation with MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS and RIPPING YARNS. A self-confessed dromomaniac (travel addict), he has written books to accompany his highly successful travel series, and is a regular No.1 Sunday Times bestseller.
