This is a book to inspire you to travel the world and have succulent delights straight off the tree... A great book. --'Up All Night' (Radio 5 Live)
As well as a travelogue, this book is also an exploration by Adam Leith Gollner of the role fruit has played in history - fruit has led nations into war, fruit has fuelled dictatorships... He explores the underworld of fruit, fruits that are inaccessible, ignored and even forbidden in the Western world. --'Organic Garden & Home'
