Synopsis

THE ART OF COARSE TRAVEL is designed exclusively for the enjoyment of those who practise it and accept its first and last principle: that of travelling in the greatest possible comfort for the least possible amount of money with the sole purpose of getting from one point to another in pursuit of leisure and pleasure in foreign parts. While the methods of Coarse Travel may change with the times, its spirit does not, and today it flourishes more strongly than at any time in the past. In THE ART OF COARSE TRAVEL Spike Hughes discusses its practice and traditions, its technique and application. The experienced Coarse Traveller will recognize many incidents which remind him of what once happened to him, while the newcomer will gain a useful grounding in the dilemmas and adventures which await him as he progresses in the practical experience of the Art (together, of course, with one or two handy phrases which may be needed to avoid arrest by the police abroad). Though it is written in a characteristically light-hearted way, THE ART OF COARSE TRAVEL is based on the author's own experience, thus giving what is designed as comedy that solid foundation of truth and probability without which it might degenerate into farce.
