About
It needed twenty-three vessels and seven months to transport Gavin Young by slow boat from Piraeus to Canton - seven months crowded with adventure, excitement and colour. His account of a fantasy come true memorably distils the people, places, smells, conversations, ships and history of the places he encountered in a quite exceptional book.
