Palin is the Python we all want to go abroad with
Brisk, fresh and makes you want to go where he has gone
A glorious travel book. There's never a dull moment, either, in the stunning photography or the entertaining travel notes
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
