A view of the fascinating life of travel writer Norman Lewis who, due to literary snobbery towards travel writers, was perhaps the best “not famous” writer of his generation.

Editorial Reviews Review "Evans has produced not only a highly enjoyable and engaging portrait but also an affectionate one...what a triumph" Sunday Times "Highly informative, painstaking and devoted" Evening Standard "Lewis's admirers can be grateful that his reputation has been entrusted to such a nuanced sleuth...Norman Lewis, the finest travel writer of his generation, has been admirably served by this all-seeing life" Observer "A wonderful book - almost as intelligent, stimulating and gripping as its subject" -- Sara Wheeler Guardian "Julian Evans does his extraordinary story justice in this exhaustive and sensitive biography" Literary Review Lewis, warts and all. A wonderful biography of a fascinating man who packed more into one life than anyone could think possible.
