Personal memoirs: travel, nature, wildlife

Have you ever wanted to take a sabbatical from work and go travelling?

`Reading these stories again takes me back immediately to the windswept green hills of Rum, the howling huskies of Greenland and the far-off plains of Alaska, where a green camper bus waits for me to board. What are you doing next summer?'

This is a book about puffins and polar bears. Santa's elves and wife carrying. About wonderful people doing strange things in faraway places. About letting your guard down and the world in.

Proceeds from book sales go to Birdlife International to support seabird conservation.

Rich Shapiro is a partner in an international Big 4 accounting firm, but breaks the mould of the accountant with his eccentric journey in `The Puffin Diaries’. An enthusiastic traveller who likes to take sabbaticals from his day job, he immerses himself in the people and places he visits and enjoys putting himself in `the place of most opportunity’. Rich records these stories by hand in moleskin notebooks and this is the story of one such sabbatical – around and about the Arctic Circle.
