About the Author:
No Bio
From Library Journal:
Palin, a member of the Monty Python comic troupe, is the most recent voyager to be inspired by Jules Verne's famous novel. His journey (filmed by the BBC), which barred airplane travel and tried to loosely follow Phileas Fogg's route, was much more of a lark than an adventure. It takes a fair amount of planning to circumnavigate the Earth in 80 days, even today: while technology has added greatly to travelers' comforts, political and bureaucratic obstacles may be even worse than in the past, and ocean travel is also more difficult to arrange. Palin writes in diary format, and he maintains his good humor throughout. The book is richly illustrated but needs a better map of the route traveled. Recommended for public libraries.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New.

The dust jacket is in new condition. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "If you're a fan of Michael Palin from Python fame and you enjoy interesting travelogues, you may enjoy this companion book to the BBC televised version of his travels. I really enjoyed the video, one of Palin's first with the BBC, and the book obviously cannot effectively capture the physical humor that Palin presents but it still worth while as the pictures and writing are quite interesting as Palin travels the circumference of the globe in 80 days. Great fun as Palin dines on snake in an Asian country (presented live and then sliced and diced for you to see) and his long ride on an ocean cargo ship where he plays charades with a crew with the help of a little alcohol at their small party. Enjoyable book with well written humorous anecdotes but see the film to have a greater appreciation for Palin's encounters with people and places. His innocent humor disarms everyone he meets and provides them and you with a laugh while exploring the world."; 9.7 X 7.5 X 0.8 inches; 256 pages. Seller Inventory # 19866
