Wild Animals and Wedding Outfits is the true story of Anna, who
comes from a family of eccentric adventurers and longs to travel,
but has somehow got to her mid-thirties without plucking up the
courage to set out on her big adventure. She dreams of seeing
animals in their natural habitat, of exploring the Amazon jungle by
canoe and meeting tribes who worship strange gods and heal each
other with folk medicine. But she worries that she is not intrepid
like her great grandmother. And is it possible to have a big
adventure and still find accommodation with an en-suite bathroom
and luxury shampoo?
Anna finally meets her chivalrous knight, Bill, who helps her to
set off on their trip through 14 countries, includingIndia, Sri
Lanka, Sikkim, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Australia, Peru,
BoliviaandChile. En-route they get into hilarious scrapes, have
some spiritual revelations and make some lifelong friends on the
way. It is a rite of passage for Anna, who finally feels like a
proper grown up by the end of the trip. Their adventure includes: -
being chased by wild elephants in India meeting the King of the
Vedda tribe in Sri Lanka seeing the pink river dolphins of the
Amazon surviving the ordeal of a trek through the monsoon
rainforests of Laosin search of the Akha tribe (with very poor
bathroom facilities).
Monty Halls, star of BBC TV's Great Escape Series says, "A
whimsical tale that has at its heart a classic love story. Anna and
Bill are the most amenable of travel companions, and by the final
chapter you feel that you know them as friends through shared
experiences on the long road. All truly good books provide some
warmth in one's life, and this one really is a glowing little
ember."
