Critics Review

A glorious travel book. There’s never a dull moment, either, in the stunning photography or the entertaining travel notes * Daily Mail *His easy-going charm and passion for discovery are captivating * Daily Express *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 *Palin is the Python we all want to go abroad with * Observer *Palin is as engaging a writer as he is a presenter, and one keeps turning the pages with anticipation and pleasure * Sunday Telegraph *
