Miles Kington’s Motorway Madness: A Traveller’s Treasury [Lingua Inglese] - Rilegato

Miles Kington is a very high profile columnist, formerly of The Times and currently of The Independent, where he is the most successful columnist on record. He is the author of two previous books, Britain Under Steam and Let’s Parlez Franglais.

Tempted onto the motorway by the prospect of green fields and fresh air, only to find that everyone else has had the same idea? Streams of bumper-to-bumper traffic, combined with the heady fumes of carbon monoxide, sound a familiar scenario? Fear no more! Here's the solution... and the relief.

While there are road movies and songs about motorways, moving on down and Route 66, the literature of the motorway has been overlooked. No book has ever tried to satisfy that motorway itch. Until now.

In soap opera, in verse, in prose, quiz, period pastiche and children's, Miles Kington's
Motorway Madness is entirely dedicated to the 70mph zone. It's packed full with fun to be had by all the family – not least while sitting in a thirty-mile tailback.
