High summer in the Balkans and George East arrives in Bulgaria to
investigate an apparently potty scheme to rescue a dying mountain
village. While there, the eccentric travel writer gets to know an
array of fascinating locals from the President Putin lookalike and
Meerkat soundalike to Mr Rotavator and the man who takes his milk
direct from cows. Beyond the village, George discovers much about
the little-known country that Bill Bryson described as a
'near-death experience.' The book also contains historical and
cultural notes and traditional recipes. In his time in Bulgaria,
George finds himself falling under the spell of an ancient kingdom
and its people...A Note from the publishers:George is at his best
when confronted with new surroundings and Bulgaria and the Balkans
caused this torrent of enthusiasm for a country untouched by
commerciality and modern falseness. Though the people are poor
beyond anything that the west can imagine, they welcomed him with
very open arms.
