Slow Boats Home

In this, the sequel to

Slow Boats to China (also reissued in

Faber Finds), Gavin Young tells, with equal panache, of his return voyage from the China Seas to England, via the South Seas, Cape Horn and West Africa.

'I am decidedly envious of Gavin Young and his

Slow Boats Home, successor to his highly entertaining

Slow Boats to China . . . a fascinating, memorable book.' Eric Newby,

Guardian

'Like

Slow Boats to China this is likely to become a classic of travel.' Francis King,

Spectator
