Sublime Lunacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780359948505)

Sublime Lunacy is a collection of random anecdotes and recollections resurrected in old age from a musty attic of memories-often in response to gentle prompting from Bacchus. From a childhood encounter with a U-Boat in mid-Atlantic to incarceration in a Macedonian jail; from the joys of foot safaris in Africa to the delight of hearing pure Elizabethan English in the high pastures of the Zagros Mountains; from the rigours of an English Public School education to the dangerous freedoms of undergraduate life at Oxford; from rock climbing on crags and colleges to dining with Japanese royalty. Sublime Lunacy combines travel and exploration with stories of natural history and scientific research. It is presented for public scrutiny in the hope that readers might find something to interest or amuse among this residue of a life well spent.
