| Publisher Description: Europe beware when a young man full of wanderlust comes under the spell of travel guru Rick Steves. Kevin Dean took Steves' budget guidebooks and independent touring philosophy to the Old Country, but not everything went as planned or promised. From "storming" an ancient castle, to being nearly given up for dead by his parents, to hopping five modes of London transport to beat a curfew, Kevin finds the hilarity in both the ridiculous and the mundane of cheap trips. His unique tales form a witty and informative travelogue as he gamely tries to follow Steves' "back door" itinerary and advice. Like his holiday hero, Kevin discovers that the thrill of Europe is in its characters, waysides, and wrong turns, as well as its famous sights. Fans of Rick Steves, armchair travelers, and those who simply love a funny story well told will all relish grabbing an imaginary rucksack and tagging along. |
