Tim Moore goes to the Arctic in the footsteps of Lord Dufferin - he's married to an Icelander, so he has some foreknowledge of the far north. (Incidentally, Icelandic doesn't import words, the Icelanders collectively decide on words for anything new, generally with a logical derivation from existing words - this means that Icelanders can still read the old sagas without difficulty).
Very entertaining, a recommended read.

As Doreen observed at the last meeting, this is another travel book about an
ill-advised, ill-prepared exhibition by a self-deprecating Brit. Seán did not think most of it was that funny and thought that this was probably a
good book for the train. A semi-recommended book.
