From the bestselling author of Jupiter's Travels and Dreaming of
Jupiter comes an entertaining and inspiring new journey round
Britain. Having crisscrossed the globe twice, Ted returns to the
British Isles to rediscover the country of his youth. The result is
a revealing portrait of modern Britain and a witty and affectionate
journey back to the past, when Ted would hitchhike across the
country visiting friends (and girlfriends). He returns to the site
of his old school with its astonishing war time history and visits
familiar haunts where he did his National Service and got his first
job in newspapers. He also visits less-familiar places. Some
inspire him (Winchester Cathedral). Others defeat him (a tax office
in Nottingham). As he rolls through the Isles, he discovers that a
great deal has changed: busier roads, bureaucracy and, worst of
all, the dreaded 'Sat Nav'. But there is also much to celebrate and
enjoy along the way. Packed with fascinating stories, extraordinary
encounters and glorious depictions of the British countryside,
Rolling through the Isles takes the reader on an unforgettable trip
with a celebrated adventurer and writer.
