Synopsis

Grenade-jugglers in Yemen. A Chinese smuggler. A hostage in Haiti. A fingerless Norwegian. A Zoroastrian priest. A Peruvian coke-seller. Some grizzled Mafia types. An Indian pickpocket.For four decades the bearded stranger has travelled the world observing and learning about different places, and the people who live there. In this collection (165 stories from over 60 countries) it is these people who describe their encounter with the stranger who has come to their home. There are no recommendations for restaurants or beaches, nor guides to famous buildings. Instead the stories offer glimpses of the intriguing and the interesting, the wonderful and the not so wonderful, the pains and the joys experienced by me, by you, by any traveller. All the stories are true, and all have a little twist in their tail. Enjoy.“I doubt I can recall the faces of all these people but my encounter with each one of them left something with me, a lesson, an understanding, perhaps even a seed of the person I have become – and I thank them all for their unknowing role in my enjoyment and experience of the world we all live in.”
