Book description 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 11
countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Sikkim, Nepal, Thailand,
Vietnam, Laos, Australia, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. 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 Laos in 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.""
