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
