Travelling to Work: Diaries 1988-1998

The third volume of Michael Palin`s celebrated diaries. `Travelling to Work` is a roller-coaster ride driven by the Palin hallmarks of curiosity and sense of adventure. Michael was not the BBC`s first choice for the travel series `Around the World in 80 Day`s, but after its success, the public naturally wanted more. Palin, however, had other plans. There was his film `American Friends`, a role in Alan Bleasdale`s award-winning drama `GBH`, the staging of his West End play `The Weekend`, a first novel, Hemingway`s Chair`, and a lead role in `Fierce Creatures`. He did find time for two more travel series, `Pole to Pole` in 1991 and `Full Circle` in 1996, and wrote two bestselling books to accompany them. These ten years in different directions offer riches on every page.
