About This Book
A series of humorous travel anecdotes presents a first-person narrator's improbable mishaps across sea voyages and winter journeys, told with deadpan irony. Episodes range from a storm that lifts trees bearing produce and accidentally topples a local despot, to a lakeside crisis where a lion and a crocodile clash over the narrator and are dispatched in a surreal rescue, to waking with a horse tied to a church weathercock. Additional tales of sled travel, wolf chases, and other comic misadventures mix tall-tale exaggeration, observational satire, and physical comedy.
