Meet Pete Brown, a beer jounalist, beer drinker & author of an irreverent book about British beer, ” Man Walks Into A Pub”. One day, Pete`s world is rocked when he discovers several countries produce, consume & celebrate beer far more than we do. The Germans claim they make the best beer in the world, the Australians consider its consumption a patriotic duty, the Spanish regard lager as a trendy youth drink & the Japanese have built a skyscrapter in the shape of a foaming glass of their favourite brew. At home, meanwhile, people seem to be turning their back on the great British pint. What`s going on? Obviously, the only way to find out was to on the biggest pub crawl ever. Drinking in more than three hundred bars, in twenty-seven towns, in thirteen different countries, on four different continents, Pete puts on a stone in weight & does irrecoverable damage to his health in the pursuit of saloon-bar enlightenment. ”A fine book...the exact tone that a work on this social drug requires.”
- ” The Times”. ” Over 300 bars later & the man still manages to make you laugh.”
- ” Daily Mirror”. ” Carlsberg don`t publish books. But if they did, they would probably come up with ” Three Sheets to the Wind”...”
- ” Metro”. ”A marvellous book which is as enlightening about the countries he visited as any travel guide.”

In 1950, Gerald Durrell travelled to British Guiana to bring back a living collection of the fauna native to that corner of South America. There he met with many kinds of adventure: some amusing, some thrilling & some extremely irritating. The team travel on a riverboat up the Essequibo through the green & lush tropical forests & trek across a landscape teeming with life & a riot of colours: from the crimson-breasted military starlings to the coppertoned howler monkeys. He gets into a sticky situation with an angry twotoed sloth & learns how (or how not) to lasso a galloping anteater. As Durrell tells us from the outset, there is one thing to be said for collecting animals: it can never be described as dull. ...

There are three things you should know about Elsie. The first thing is that she`s my best friend. The second is that she always knows what to say to make me feel better.
