"One of the two or three greatest living travel writers, with a prose style of unmatched wit and subtlety."
The Sunday Times
"Lewis is the classic 'I-am-a-camera' travel writer. He sees, but he does not judge. This is the perfect book to go travelling with this summer: off-beat, uninhibited and wise."
The Observer
"The essays span the continents, from Europe to Africa to Asia to South America to Oceania; they have in common an enviable descriptive power, a touch of the bizarre and a great deal of style."
