Spanish Steps (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780099471943) Moore, Tim Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: VINTAGE, United Kingdom, 2005. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book. Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela. Over 500 miles of extreme weather and agonising bestial sloth, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist's couch. Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to.

Spanish Steps (New edition) (ISBN: 9780099471943) Moore, Tim Quantity Available: 9
Book Description: Vintage. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Spanish Steps (New edition), Tim Moore, Being larger than a cat, the donkey falls into that category of animal which Tim Moore is at least slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and strangely committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela. Nuzzling businessmen at a city-centre zebra crossing, or shuffling after German policewomen across a broiled and lonely plain, the pair bring smiles to every local face, and not all of brazen derision. Over 500 miles of extreme weather, agonising bestial sloth and triple-bunk dormitories, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist's couch. Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, "Spanish Steps" is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to.
