Review
'The world loves an oddball and the seven famous eccentrics memorialized here... were very, very peculiar.' Jan Morris
Book Description
This is a classic account of obsessives abroad. Madder than the maddest scientists, eccentric travellers made exploration popular. Who could resist the naturalist who wrestled with boa constrictors, or the evangelist who stomped the Hindu Kush stark naked?
