Format: Hardback

Number of Pages: 288


Following in the footsteps of Alexander Mackenzie and Lewis and Clark, and borrowing from the likes of Thoreau (who traveled through Maine in his own birchbark canoe) and Jerome K Jerome, Voyageur is part Three Men in a Boat, part Redmond O'Hanlon. What it certainly is is a return to the essence of travel writing: at the heart of the book is a long, difficult journey; here crossing the Canadian Rockies, through inhospitable terrain and Native American reservations, with a birchbark canoe, a diet of desiccated cranberries and buffalo stew, and a couple of weary companions in tow. Full of the same brew of irreverence, humour and reflection that made Angry White Pyjamas such as success.
