Don't Eat the Puffin
Previously published as Takoradi to the Stars (via Huddersfield) by Jules Brown It's the job of his dreams. Get paid to travel and write about it. Only no one told Jules that it would mean eating oily seabirds, repeatedly falling off a husky sled, getting stranded on a Mediterranean island, and crash-landing in Iran. The exotic destinations come thick and fast - Hong Kong, Hawaii, Huddersfield - as Jules navigates what it means to be a travel writer in a world with endless surprises up its sleeve. Add in a cast of larger-than-life characters - Elvis, Captain Cook, his own travel-mad Dad - and an eye for the ridiculous, and this journey with Jules is one you won't want to miss.

'Jules' travel writing is funny, inspiring, quirky and always engaging. His blog is great but reading the cream of his travels in book form is even more fun' Mark Ellingham, founder of Rough Guides & publisher of 'Driving over Lemons'Long-time Rough Guide author Jules Brown has travelled the world for thirty years, writing guidebooks, having adventures and generally trying to find his way home - wherever that might be. Born in Ghana, raised in Yorkshire, and sent around the world by Rough Guides, Jules is not your usual travel writer. In 25 traveller's tales, Jules chooses byways over highways every time - whether heading out on the job, or following in the footsteps of his one-of-a-kind father. On the way, he climbs volcanoes, hikes across cities and deserts, mushes huskies, searches for the Loch Ness monster, gets stuck up a Lake District mountain, learns to cook rice in Hong Kong, and delivers the mail in New Zealand. He also gets stranded on a Mediterranean island, which is mostly his fault, and crash-lands in Tehran, which definitely isn't. 'Takoradi to the stars (via Huddersfield)' is a heartwarming search for home and identity by a seasoned traveller with a quirky take on travel writing.
