Description
People thought Jonathan Booth was mad, taking a 25-year-old classic car and a 29-year-old feisty fiancee and thinking either of them would actually make it through 10,000 miles of Europe. From the high plains of Andalucia to the caves of the Massif Central; from the bustle of Barcelona to the roar of the Monaco Grand Prix; from the Velazquezs of the Prado to the Canalettos of the Uffizi; from the Loire Chateaux to the ruins of Pompeii; from Disneyland to the Eagle's Nest; from the best hotel in Europe to a damply infested bed and breakfast, from foie gras to frankfurter-no corner is left unexplored, no experience untried, no wine untasted.

Jonathan Booth has been a multi award-winning writer for fifteen years, but everything he's ever written has taken exactly thirty seconds to read. Jonathan writes and voices radio commercials. To date he has voiced nearly 20,000 radio ads, along with countless other scripts in all forms of media. His voice has been heard by over half-a-billion people. Jonathan's career knows no bounds, he has: compered the Royal Philharmonic; commentated Princess Anne round a cross-country course; presented a 13-part TV series for Discovery, and voiced the world's first live radio ad from inside a carwash. For a while he has dreamed of writing something that could hold the reader or listener's attention for more than forty seconds, and be remembered for more than ten after that. So following his three-month sabbatical Grand Tour, with his fiancee Ali, he wrote their experiences down as The European Job. Despite nearly killing her in a fireball (see book), Ali actually married Jonathan, and even gave him a baby daughter, Lucy. They all live in Hampshire, where Ali writes books for children.
