'The Curious Incident of The Cow In The Indian Day-Time' 

 

Titles

There are currently four titles available with a fifth coming soon.

A Slow Boat to Moscow - This is a two-part story of a river journey from St Petersburg to Moscow followed by a return to Moscow two years later. The book gives a fascinating view of life in both rural and urban modern-day Russia and is laced with intrigue (Russian Mafia, a mysterious coffin and a love-struck barmaid) and humour. A favourite with many readers.

A Big Boat to Norway - A tale of fun, fjords and frolics with an author's-eye-view of the cities of Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger, and encounters with a shrinking glacier, a pesky German lady and a roomful of very large salmon.

Odyssey in the Ukraine - A fascinating view of this former Soviet country that takes in the Golden city of Kiev, exotic Odessa and historic Sevastopol. The author visits an ancient Monastery where dead monks are stored on shelves, the site of the Charge of the Light Brigade and the summer palace of Tsar Nicholas and his wife Alexandra.

Volcanoes and Sirens - A wonderful tour around the bay of Naples where we follow the author around the streets of ancient Pompeii, up Mount Vesuvius, over to the beautiful Isle of Capri and down the drains in Sorrento.

Coming soon...

Prague Tales - The author visits this fast-changing city and visits places, some famous, some strange, but all fascinating and steeped in the incomparabe history and atmosphere of this old and unique Bohemian capital.
