Official synopsis Publisher
In this, the sequel to “Slow Boats to China” (also reissued in “Faber Finds”), Gavin Young tells, with equal panache, of his return voyage from the China Seas to England, via the South Seas, Cape Horn and West Africa. ‘I am decidedly envious of Gavin Young and his “Slow Boats Home”, successor to his highly entertaining “Slow Boats to China” …a fascinating, memorable book’ – Eric Newby, the “Guardian”. ‘Like “Slow Boats to China”, this is likely to become a classic of travel’ – Francis King, the “Spectator”.
