![]() ![]() London publishers amaze him, King Leopold III of the Belgians or King Gustav of Sweden impress him effortlessly and deeply. Harrer struggles to rise beyond the inconsequential because he is uncritically impressed by virtually everyone he meets and sees. ![]() ![]() If this book offers a fair summary of his other books then I would conclude that they are also inconsequential and entertaining enlivened by deadpan humour. one does learn how his custom made hickory stick or antique putter brought him victory on different occasions ![]() There is a rather frightening section in the middle of the book when Harrer discovers golf, but he just about holds back from recording where and with whom he ever played golf, but he comes close to it. I might hope on the whole that if I write a short review it stands as a tongue in cheek and generally light-hearted comment of the book and any longer review, in this case there isn't I feel that much more to say beyond that précis which I intend as serious and complimentary comment on the book. Man arses about in obscure places having picturesque but never picaresque adventures. ![]()
