Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish
Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to
walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large
animal who doesn't really want to. Being larger than a cat, the
donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet
intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in
three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity,
he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain,
headed for Santiago de Compostela. Over 500 miles of extreme
weather and agonising bestial sloth, it becomes memorably apparent
that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the
Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely
devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist's couch. 'Hailed as
the new Bill Bryson, he is in fact a writer of considerably more
substance and the jokes come thick and fast' Irish Times
