"'At last, a sensible alternative to the usual travel guides with all their sordid adviceAn essential companion to any serious (English) traveller' Jack Dee 'Do not dread an occasional night in the open when you are benighted and have no camp. There are few beds more comfortable than a dry ditch in England in June' Frank Tatchell, Vicar of Midhurst, 1923 'Every lady should, to my mind, know how to use a revolver. She may at any time be in China or some other country where there are savage natives' Walter Winans, 1904 * 'Welcome to the cult of couth' - Independent * 'Let Darkwood's rallying cry - "Civility, Poetry, Martini" - ring in smoking rooms and gentlemen's bedchambers everywhere' - ES Magazine"
Vic Darkwood is a writer, traveller and bon viveur, whose past projects include co-founding The Chap magazine in 1998 and co-writing several tomes, including The Chap Manifesto and Around the World in Eighty Martinis. Prone to an over-appreciation of malt whisky and leaning against classical architecture at an angle of 15 degrees to the perpendicular, Mr Darkwood is currently working on a Concise History of Marmalade.
