This review is from: The Worst Journey in the Midlands (Hardcover)

I found this book in the stacks of our local Public Library.

Written in 1983, it details a trip made in an old rowboat from Wales to London via rivers and canals. The author's dry wit--much of it directed at himself--is delightful.

I found this book especially refreshing as I have recently read a couple of the Extreme Adventure books that are so popular now. This book reads like a parody of such works, though written long before them.

I'm glad to see that the author is still writing and appears to have a good readership.
