When they retired, Terry Darlington and his wife, Monica, decided to take a trip. The Welsh couple, along with their dog, a whippet called Jim, set out in a 60-foot narrow boat across the English Channel and down the Rhone River to the south of France. In this memoir of “travel travail, and dubious wine,” they describe the places they saw and the people they met. In a brief final chapter, they insist that the only way to learn to speak French “is to go somewhere where you have to speak the language or starve and do without sex.” This is followed by 18 phrases and a suggestion that at times of high excitement your action should be similar to a man standing beneath a tree catching plums. The book, which includes color maps and illustrations, no doubt is one of the most hilarious travel memoirs ever written. --George Cohen --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
