A Saunter Through the Southern States
The American South seen through the eyes of a Brit - the good, the bad and the kitsch dished up with a dose of very British humour. Nick Middleton's speciality within travel writing is his passion for the peculiar. His interest lies not just in foreign places, but the people that inhabit them - their lives, their loves, their work, rest and play. His first two books found him in Mozambique and Mongolia, exotic climes where the prevailing culture was always going to be very different to his own. 'Ice Tea and Elvis' takes him to the land of God and guns, heat and history - not to mention Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton - and proves that even those who supposedly speak the same language couldn't have been a richer hunting ground for this chronicler of the bizarre.
From the imported sands of Miami Beach - so hot they threaten the native wildlife - to the mansions of Savannah, Georgia and a Gathering of the Clans in Carolina, this quirky travelogue will entertain anyone who has ever travelled to the American South - or wanted to.
