Book Overview

A family odyssey from England to the Aegean through the inland waterways of Europe. A mix of a writer's gifts of humour and description with a historian's eye for Europe's epochal upheaval of the early 1990s. A traveller's talent for bumbling into and out of every sort of jam imaginable, two forgiving children, a not-so-forgiving wife, a tiny and balky boat, and a charming we'll-get-through optimism masquerading as pessimism. A hilarious tale, a small-boat classic in the vein of Farley Mowat's The Boat Who Wouldn't Float or Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Snail's pace sailboat trip from England to Greece

He manages to show us this family farce (his wife and 2 preteen kids come along for the ride) at the same time he shares his vivid observations of central and Eastern Europe's varied landscape, history, and people.Good armchair traveler material.

Delightful Family Adventure

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 18, 2002

An avid armchair traveller, I am always on the lookout for books of travel adventure. This book was a delightful addition to my library. The book chronicles the Horn families' voyage by boat from the North Sea through the canals of Europe to the Black Sea and the Agean. The author is adept at chronicalling the interesting details and amusing incidents that allow the reader to feel if s/he is along for the voyage. Rather...
