Synopsis:
‘Celebrates the highs and lows of life on the road.' -- The Independent on Sunday
‘Travel tales we guarantee you won’t find in brochures.’ -- Maxim
Like its best-selling predecessors, this third assembly of Travellers' Tales from Heaven and Hell comprises travel stories of every kind, from high drama to low comedy. Reading them will provoke tears of laughter, tears of despair and tears of sheer joy. These are the winning entries in this year's worldwide competition, to which the response was again phenomenal. The writers describe adventures in five continents, over fifty countries. Only a minority are published authors, yet all these stories have a polished, rounded quality of their own. That's because they reflect the oral tradition that steers this series. Whether a thousand words or a hundred, these tales were mostly first told to amuse and amaze companions after dinner, or in the pub. They will amuse and amaze you, too. These are travellers to meet and enjoy. One almost drowned - on Everest! Another stood in Lenin's bath. A third robbed a bank in Cherbourg. This book captures the essence of travel: to experience the unexpected, be it a taste of heaven or hell, and return to tell the tale.
