George Courtauld is a Queen's Messenger, a sort or Royal courier who takes Her Majesty's letters (sometimes with kippers and marmalade and other necessities) to British embassies around the world. In the long hours waiting for flights, Queen's Messengers usually take up a hobby- embriodery for example, or water-colour painting- or become world experts on seashells. Not Gerorge Courtauld. Whenever he finds a spare moment, he takes off on a local adventure- white-water rafting in Costa Rica, searching (unsuccessfully) for the Limpopo in the dark, complaining (justifiably) about being installed in a brothel in Liberia and sampling a disco in Ulaan Bataar where he thrills to the sounds of Mongolia's favourite rock group, HONK! Infectiously interested in everything with an acute eye for the absurd, George Courtauld has written one of the funniest travel books to appear for many years.
