Perhaps the funniest travel book ever written, Remote People begins with a vivid
account of the coronation of Emperor Ras Tafari - Haile Selassie I, King of
Kings - an event covered by Evelyn Waugh in 1930 as special correspondent for
The Times . It continues with subsequent travels throughout Africa, where
natives rub shoulders with eccentric expatriates, settlers with Arab traders and
dignitaries with monks. Interspersed with these colourful tales are three
'nightmares' which describe the vexations of travel, including returning home.
