Ernle Bradford

Opis

What were the life experiences that turned Bradford from a conventional job holder into a traveler and adventurer? It started with a quote that Bradford and his wife took very much to heart: "Life does not come again; if you have not lived during the days that were given to you, once only, then write it down as lost . . . " It was those profound words of Anton Chekhov that convinced Bradford and his wife to quit their jobs, sell their home, and sail off to France in the Mother Goose, a ten-ton Dutch cutter. The Journeying Moon chronicles their adventures as they travel through Europe and the Mediterranean. From the people of Malta who were convinced Bradford was a spy from MI5 to his interactions with the Sicilian Mafia, Bradford tells the charming and vivid tale of his days as a true adventurer.
