In a modern rendition of the Grand tour of Europe, the author set out to seek the truth behind the myths we British like to propagate about our European neighbours... The Belgians are boring, the French eat nothing, but Frogs legs and garlic and the Germans are officious and efficient.

In a modern rendition of the Grand tour of Europe, Nick Middleton set out to seek the truth behind the myths we British like to propagate about our European neighbours...The Belgians are boring, the French eat nothing, but Frogs legs and garlic and the Germans are officious and efficient. He followed a trail of contemporary sights and experiences that every well rounded Eurocitizen should encounter think of the British, and to see how different or alike we all are now that we are linked by a common market.

Nick Middleton was born in London. As a geographer he has travelled to more than 50 countries and teaches part-time at Oxford University. As a travel writer he has been accused of drug smuggling and spying but has never spent a night in jail. He has been fined for dropping a match in China, mugged in Moscow, conned in Casablanca and kidnapped in Outer Mongolia, but hasn't tired of travelling yet.
