Cobra in the Bath: Adventures in Less Travelled Lands [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

This is the very opposite of a misery memoir. A merriment memoir, maybe? Whatever we call it there should be more of them . Adult life, as so often in memoirs, slightly pales under the dash and vigour of childhood and youth, but Miles is such a skilful anecdotalist you even forgive him when he writes about his career in finance . A delightful book, sunny, non-judgemental and as cheering as a long lunch in good company on a warm summer's day (Daily Mail)

Easy Rider in a pinstripe suit, Miles Morland delivers a breathtaking roller-coaster of an adrenaline-fuelled life story - I was with him every inch of the way! (Elisabeth Luard)

An outrageously beguiling voyage through life - full of empire, ecstasy, humour and sadness. His wanderlust embraces some worlds I've visited as a reporter, but have never captured as he has - Iraq especially. All this is coupled with a trail-blazing capacity for making, spending and giving away money (Jon Snow)

He has a fund of good stories, and tells them well (Daily Telegraph)

A witty memoir . Living his far from conventional life on his own terms, Morland has something for everyone. His narrative picks up a level of thrill through his visits to Communist Hungary in the late 1989 to his new found love of motor-cycling in his late 40s. More poignant are the accounts of the last rites of one of his daughters who tragically committed suicide. Moreland has written another bestseller (Lifestyle)

Miles Morland's Cobra in the Bath mixes travelogue and memoir, displaying his gift for comic adventures, often high-risk, and set in some of the world's most difficult terrain (Scotland on Sunday Travel Books of the Year)
