By the author of "Sacred Monsters" this collection of travel writings uses an engaging combination of character portraits and photographs to describe a number of different journeys from the jolly vulgarity of the English seaside resort to the haunting ex-convict island of Tasmania. Whether in devastated post-war Germany, sailing around the world in the Merchant Navy, rediscovering the setting of "Dracula" in Transylvania, or watching the sun rise over Mesopotamia from the top of Mount Nemrut, Daniel Farson's enthusiasm and curiosity is very infectious.
