A BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED, HIGHLY ILLUSTRATED VOLUME DOCUMENTING THE HUGELY VARIED AND ALWAYS ENTERTAINING CAREER OF ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED TRAVEL WRITERS.
Born in London in 1919, Eric Newby was educated at St Paul's School. He began his travelling career in a perambulator between Hammersmith Bridge and such seaside resorts as Frinton. In 1938 he persuaded his father to have him apprenticed to the four-masted Finnish barque 'Moshulu' and, with camera in to, sailed the Grain Race from Australia to Europe by way of Cape Horn - the beginning of a lifelong passion for both travel photography.
During the war Newby served in the Black Watch and the Special Boat Service and was awarded the Military Cross. It was as a prisoner of war in Italy that he first met Wanda, his beloved wife and travelling companion of many years. Following the war he spent ten years as a commercial traveller and in a London couture house before resuming his travelling career when he decided to take a 'Short Walk in the Hindu Kush'
After the war, he worked in the fashion business and book publishing but travelled on a grand scale, sometimes as the Travel Editor for the Observer. He was made CBE and awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the British Guild of Travel Writers. He died in 2006.
