  George Courtauld is at it again, still bound by the Official Secrets Act, but as energetic, inquisitive and enthusiastic as ever about everything else he finds en route. He flourishes on a train ride from hell in Kenya, searches in vain for a Turkish hazel nut tree in Ankara, spends a night in a dungeon on the Great Wall of China. There could be no more delightful a travelling companion. As if his official journeys were not diverting enough, between journeys he offers other diversions - memories of batty aunts as well as his list, composed at the age of fourteen and quoted here with original spellings, of 'Things Needed for Canoeing Round the World', which included:- tea set (for visiters) Bible with instructions for carrying out a funeral at sea Beads (for trading) Champaine Dairys and log books
