My latest book was Michael Palin's book version of his around the world trip back in the eighties.  I remember distinctly the BBC television series.  Palin is a delightful host on world travels.  In fact, he is still making travel television shows.  His latest is broadcasting now on the New Europe, as I recall.

I am impressed with Palin's writing style, and there appears to be no ghost writer listed on the copyright page.  He is a very literate fellow.

Sounds like a great adventure, and I would love to trace his steps.  One day....
