A Day in the Life

From earthquakes, hurricanes and Somali pirates to shooping weekends and Mediterannean celebrity-filled parties, A Day in the Life offers an eclectic selection of original traveller's tales from British writers.

This collection of 26 stories includes hair-raising encounters with gun-toting revolutionaries, great white sharks, faulty aeroplanes and dangerous roads. However, other writers have eschewed such tales of high adventure in favour of more refelective and emotional recollections of the people and places that they have been priviledged enough to see when at home or abroad.

A Day in the Life provides a remarkable and compelling insight into the range of experiences that seasoned travellers will choose to look back on with fondness. This is a book that will entertain, inform and stimulate in equal measure.
