Maps of My Life - Browning, Guy

Guy Browning, author of the No. 1 bestselling Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade and popular longstanding Guardian columnist, finally turns his unique attention to a rich new comic seam - his own deeply eccentric and far-flung upbringing. \n\nWeaned\n on maps, educated by maps, surrounded by maps and ever so slightly in \nlove with maps, Guy Browning presents a selection of intriguing and \nquirkily annotated cartographic gems to chart his unsteady progress from\n pewling toddler to pewling young man via the furthest corners of the \nAlps, Niagara Falls, the Mediterranean, Central America and darkest \nChipping Norton. Maps of My Life revisits\n the richly comic highways, byways and unpaved tracks of Guy's unusually\n peripatetic early years, peopled with unforgettable relatives, friends \nand foe such as the Fatted Calf, the Sainted One, Langton Machoko and \nMarshal LaPoulette... \n\nBeautifully produced with full-colour maps throughout, Maps of My Life is one of the funniest autob.
