Synopsis

From the lunatic fringe of exploration John Keay brings to book another miscellany of wanderers weird and wonderful. Meet the maniac who sailed through the Suez Canal before it was built, or the sailor who tried to walk round the world. Or flounder in the mangrove swamps with a lady doing 'odd jobs for Africa'. Flushed from obscurity, this collection of vagabonds changes one's view of the world.
