Omschrijving
'The next Bill Bryson.’ New York Times
Having been dragged against his will to live in Denmark, Michael Booth discovered one of the great secrets of travel literature - Andersen's A Poet's Bazaar - a fascinating travelogue through a Europe on the cusp of revolution, by an author who invented children's literature.
Beautifully written and highly entertaining...pacey, conversational and unpredictable... Like an earthier Bill Bryson and, whisper it, funnier
Hilarious and deliciously cruel about Denmark... A surprising, passionate enquiry into this most enigmatic of men...should not be missed
Booth's control of his material shines through. The mix of right-on comedic travelogue and expert disquisition is engaging... Highly recommended
A clever book... Manages to function as both coherent biography and literary criticism... An astute, erudite book
A romp in the pleasing company of master and apostle...as examples of the 'following in the footsteps' genre go, this one is livelier, wittier, better informed and more diligent than average
Michael Booth is the author of six books, including the international bestseller, The Almost Nearly Perfect People, winner of the British Guild of Travel Writers award for Book of the Year, and Sushi and Beyond, which won the Guild of Food Writers award.
