FROM FISHING AND FLYING TO FRENCH COOKING - BEN AITKEN'S YEAR OF ACTIVELY PURSUING FUN.
'What Aitken writes about fun is worth reading' Mail on Sunday
Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.
Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.
He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.
By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.
