‘It was a journey of dazzling extremes. Beauty and ugliness, sophistication and squalor, unceasing urban noise and monastic tranquillity . . . This is a record of a year of wonder’

Full Circle is the diary of Michael Palin’s epic 245-day, 50,000-mile adventure around the rim of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a journey that takes him through eighteen different countries – including some of the most politically volatile and physically demanding places on Earth. Told with Michael’s trademark warmth and good humour, this is a spectacular story of high contrasts, intense drama and unmissable beauty.

Reviews

Observer
Palin is the Python we all want to go abroad with
Independent
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
Daily Telegraph
Palin makes a wonderful travelling companion ... his humour is set at exactly the right pitch
Independent
Coupled with his eye for detail, he has the diarist's willingness to try anything and to laugh at himself ... travel-writing of unpretentious charm and enjoyable originality
Daily Express
His easy-going charm and passion for discovery are captivating
