Whatever else he was doing, he has always travelled on a grand scale, whether under his own steam or as Travel Editor of the "Observer". Over the years he has mined the richly comic seam of his varied experiences to produce many popular travel classics, such as "Slowly Down the Ganges", "Love and War in the Apennines", "A Traveller's Life", "A Small Place in Italy" and "A Merry Dance Around the World". In all of his adventures his camera has never been far from his side, and the 250 photographs reproduced in this volume represent some of his finest work. Newby's accompanying recollections are full of his trademark self-deprecating humour and highly observant sense of the incongruous.
