The Theory and Practice of Travel

Keith Waterhouse has combined his interests in travelling and writing to produce this book which will appeal to both the intrepid explorer and the armchair traveller. It includes witty anecdotes and helpful hints - including a dictionary of "brochure-ese" - and is written in the same style as his earlier "The Theory and Practice of Lunch". There are cartoons by Graham. After a long association with the "Daily Mirror", Waterhouse now writes for the "Daily Mail", contributes regularly to Punch and has produced a whole range of work for television, cinema and theatre. He has written many novels including "Billy Liar" and "Office Life".
