I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    50 Camels and She's Yours

    A refreshingly honest collection of travel vignettes. Chapters shift easily from 'evacuating' into yoghurt pots to touching local encounters, all made possible by the relentless curiosity of five remarkable people.

    A Glimpse of Eternal Snows

    I would encourage anyone going to Nepal to read your book. Most travellers only interact fleetingly with the Nepalese. Your [Jane’s] experiences will give others the understanding they do not have time to absorb.

    Himalayan Heist

    A gripping tale of adventure in the mountains, full of tales of wildlife, smuggling and plucky children. Highly recommended
