About this title

Review:

'A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush , the 1958 book that made his reputation, is typically ironic in its understatement.'
-- Observer

'All the lyricism, and spirit of adventure and discovery [in] Newby's work...' -- Times

'Endlessly entertaining and self-deprecating' -- Daily Mail

'Meeting Badar Khan was the inspiration I needed to finally read the book... It was as good as its hype.' -- Wanderlust

'Newby is easily the best of the bunch and was the subject of the first programme.' -- Sunday Times

'Picador have made again available one of the most enjoyable reads of the last century.'
-- Herald
