| Publisher Description: Richard Ellison is a geographer at heart but also a well-travelled walker, ex-marathon runner, mountaineer and bike rider. Having discovered the delights of continental holidays with his parents, as a small child in the 1950s, before package holidays were born, he has journeyed to many parts of the world to satisfy his need for adventure and excitement. "Incidents, Accidents and Adventures in the Atlas Mountains" is the tale of a 10 day holiday in Morocco when some aspects of the trip did not go quite according to plan. The author of this book tells the story of what can happen, when on holiday in a foreign country, when the language, culture and customs experienced by the traveller and his companion, Sue, are so very different to home. This in itself can result in a number of misunderstandings, indeed the book might have been entitled - "Lost in Translation, A Trip to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco." Part travelogue, part walking book, part autobiography, this is the author's first book. It is very much a personal account of how the book came to be written, why Morocco, particularly the Atlas Mountains, was chosen as the subject matter and the many amusing, wonderful and some not so wonderful experiences encountered in this very interesting North African country. |
