    How to Shit Around the World

    Wilson-Howarth uses her own experience and that of others to highlight the pitfalls of toiletting in exotic and less developed places. The book is therefore perfect for the international traveller.

    Madagascar Misadventure

    A great tale for teenagers, as the intrepid duo of Alex and James follow their chaotic and negligent parents from the Himalayas to the remoter corners of Madagascar. The quest for lemurs quickly turns into a struggle against corruption, evilness and exploitation of nature. With the help of a feisty local friend they defeat the forces of darkness; they are reunited with their parents and are able to enjoy the wonders of the forest, caves and scenery of Ankarana, and the charm of the Malagasy people. All the charismatic local fauna feature in the story, and many are beautifully illustrated with photographs or line drawings
