Here's a book you may like to read

Michael Palin occasionally does a series on the BBC and has been doing for a long time. After each series has ended, he writes a book about what happened in the series. I am a great fan of Michael Palin, and already have all of the travel books that he has published! Thank you for spending the time to let me know, though.

The book you've mentioned, which in England is called "Around the world with Michael Palin," is the first one that he published. I would recommend the others as well.

Palin is very "down to Earth", which means that he is very practical, candid, easy to understand and nice-mannered. He is a very good example of a typical good-natured Englishman. His books are very good to study the English with because, as you have probably noticed, he is good at explaining the world from an English point of view an using English (rather than American) language.
