Elderly British men display a variety of annoying habits. They write letters to the newspapers; they drink too much; they reminisce about the old days; they make lewd comments to younger women; they shout at the television screen; & they go for long walks & get lost. Jeremy Cameron chose the last of these options. Trying to emulate Patrick Leigh Fermor`s feat of 1933, he walked from Hook of Holland to Istanbul. Leigh Fermor was a legendary figure. Scholar, multilinguist, beautiful prose stylist, war hero, tough guy, charmer & famous lover: Cameron is none of these things & he also suffers from a heart condition. Rest assured that there will be no tedious details of operations or stoicism in this book. Nor will there be descriptions of understated generosity, quiet irony or British phlegm. The main point of travel is to recognise the virtues of staying at home. When at home, it is not possible to get bogged down in Alpine snow, fall over on one`s face on Kosovan tarmac or suffer a comprehensive mugging on deserted roads in Greece. Nor does one have to speak foreign languages, eat foreign food or, above all, drink terrible tea. It is about two thousand miles from Hook of Holland to Istanbul. Thirteen countries lie in wait for the walker. They have many wonderful sights & much fascinating history. Readers will not find them in this book. They will, however, find a number of stories of varying authenticity & some very dubious observations about life. By the time Turkey arrived, Cameron was utterly & completely fed up with the whole process. Never again would he do anything quite so stupid. He is currently walking round all the places in England beginning with the letter Q. ...

Trying to be Ernest Hemingway is never easy. After reading A Moveable Feast, aspiring novelist Enrique Vila-Matas moves to Paris to be closer to his literary idol, Ernest Hemingway. Surrounded by the writers, artists & eccentrics of `70s Parisian cafe culture, he dresses in black, buys two pairs of reading glasses, & smokes a pipe like Sartre. Now, in later life, he reflects on his youth while giving a three-day lecture on irony. & he`s still convinced he looks like Hemingway. Never Any End to Paris is a hilarious, playful novel about literature & the art of writing, & how life never quite goes to plan. ...

Bognor Regis... Aberystwyth... Glasgow... Can you place them on a map? Most people can`t these days. What kind of countryside do you pass through on your way to the Cairngorms, or the Fens, or Northumberland? What`s north of the Pennines? & what`s it like when you get there? Most folk wouldn`t have a clue. Increasing numbers of us don`t have a basic geographical notion of these islands. Blame it on a decline in formal geography teaching, or Sat-Nav & other `A to Z & nothing in between` devices that make us lazy
- we are becoming the best travelled & least well orientated Britons ever seen. Now Christopher Somerville, bestselling author of Coast & many other books of UK exploration, presents the basics of what belongs where, which counties border one another, & what lies beyond the Watford Gap. He reminds us of the watery bits, the lumpy bits & the flat bits, & gets to grips with the smaller islands surrounding Britain
- & much more. Never Eat Shredded Wheat is a reminder of all the fascinating British geography once learned at school
- geography that brings our islands vividly to life
- geography which we have forgotten, or never even knew.
