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
Palin is the Python we all want to go abroad with
Palin is as engaging a writer as he is a presenter, and one keeps turning the pages with anticipation and pleasure
His easy-going charm and passion for discovery are captivating
A glorious travel book. There's never a dull moment, either, in the stunning photography or the entertaining travel notes
