    Lemurs of the Lost World

    “the finest travel book thus far written about Madagascar”

    Dervla Murphy in the Times Literary Supplement, London

    How to Shit Around the World

    Very funny but also rather useful.. some things I wish I knew before I travelled to Pakistan for the first time. And some things I now wish I didn’t know.

    Himalayan Hideout

    Thrilling adventure novel based in the mountains of Nepal, From start to finish, this is a fantastic and fast paced tale of adventure and comoradery in the Himalayas. There are twists and surprises throughout and the local sounds at the start of every episode sets the scene wonderfully. Its a gripping read!
