Overview

"Written to entertain and amuse, part travelogue, part memoir and always interlaced with humour ""I think I got away with it!"" is a whimsical sail though my world. My 40+ years of hosting events in UK, and escorting trips (mostly wildlife) around the globe, condensed into 300 pages many with colour photos, and in addition 40 full colour pages. Its a bit like a coffee table book in large paperback format! I'll be telling you stories of some of the fascinating people I touched shoulders with along the way, such as Elton John & Rod Stewart, Prince Edward and Murray Walker. I'll be taking you with me on some of my journeys, exploring the wildlife and people of Africa and India; of The Galapagos Islands, of Mexico's Sea of Cortez and around Northern Thailand by tuk tuk! Yes, I am somewhat eccentric, and make no apology for it! I invite you to treat this book like an old friend. People who know me have read the sample copies from cover to cover. But I invite you to enjoy a chapter or three when you are in the mood, then pick it up again later when you feel in need of a chuckle. Most of all, you mustn't take any of it too seriously - because I didn't! If you would like me to personalise your copy by signing and dedicating a sticky backed bookplate to you, or to someone else as a gift from you, you'll find an email address for me in the book, and I'll happily send you as many as you need."

A Bollinger of a book - it sparkles and gives you a lift, just like the real thing. Gyles Brandreth Clive's amusing stories, from Buckingham Palace to Bhutan, and from Monaco to the Maasai Mara are easy to enjoy, and you will love his humour unless I am very much mistaken! Murray Walker OBE Some of his writing can raise a half-hearted smile. Ok, belly laughs dammit! Japer Carrott OBE It is impossible not to be wafted along in Porky's (Clive's) tidal wave of unbridled enthusiasm, relentless charm and quest for finding the amusing and the ridiculous wherever he is and whoever he is with. Lord Ian (Beefy) Botham Confidence, nerve and all round agreeableness have opened many doors that could have remained closed to Clive. He is picture of sartorial elegance, as smooth as a frog's armpit, and his book is a must read for any would be raconteur or confidence trickster! Don Maclean MBE, KSS Clive's is a life very well lived, and it was a lot of fun sometimes being along for the ride. Read the book and you'll find out why. Ray Jones (a.k.a. Mr. London)
