Escape From England: From Sacred Hearts To Tribal Arts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578608105)

Here lies the life of a mid 20th century escapist, propelled by instinct from the bland predictable English lifestyle into the unknown. Fleeing from behind convent walls, she watched as the white cliffs of Dover faded into the horizon, poised to slither into the land of the baguette and her initiation into the French attitude. Crossing the Atlantic she donned a pair of rabbit ears and became inducted into the Playboy Club and the mysteries of the American male mind, before zigzagging across the United States in a yellow E type Jaguar. On reaching San Francisco she won the right to be one of the first married women to waitress in the not so friendly skies, to be conscripted to patrol the aisles of an aluminum tube at 37,000 feet, slinging out rice and water to pilgrims on their way to redemption in Mecca, while on the road to discovering her passion for Tribal Art.
