About this product

Product Information

Bill Bryson's A WALK IN THE WOODS meets Monty Python and the Holy Grail. With a donkey Being larger than a cat, the donkey is the kind of animal Tim Moore is slightly scared of. Yet intrigued by epic accounts of a pilgrimage undertaken by one in three medieval Europeans, and committed to historical authenticity, he finds himself leading a Pyrenean ass named Shinto into Spain, headed for Santiago de Compostela. Over 500 miles of extreme weather and agonising bestial sloth, it becomes memorably apparent that for the multinational band of eccentrics who keep the Santiagan flame alive, the pilgrimage has evolved from a purely devotional undertaking into a mobile therapist's couch. Ludicrous, heart-warming and improbably inspirational, Spanish Steps is the story of what happens when a rather silly man tries to walk all the way across a very large country, with a very large animal who doesn't really want to.

Laughter, insight and pathos in rare combination
Tim Moore is self deprecating and witty but also well researched and brave. As an unfit 40-something he decides to walk the ancient Camino de Santiago across northern Spain, but because he doesn't look cool wearing a rucksack, he takes a donkey to carry his pack. Very funny and very readable.
