Until the early 1990s, when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, travelling behind the iron curtain was never easy. In undertaking his new journey through Eastern Europe, breathing in its rich history, filming its exquisite sights and talking to its diverse peoples, Michael fills what has been a void in his own experience and that of very many of his own generation. As in all his series, Palin's New Europe takes the form of a journey through countries which have rich and complex cultures. Few have survived intact, as the ebb and flow of warring armies has continually changed the map of Europe.

For most of us the only travelling involved in tea drinking is carrying a steaming cuppa from the kitchen, to a comfy chair. But for those in the trade, growing, selecting, tasting, blending, shipping and selling tea once constituted a passport to travel in exotic places. In this fascinating and amusing book, Paul Gunton describes his life as a tea taster, recounting the story of 40 years spent in the trade, travelling in India, Africa, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, England and Ireland. With a light touch he describes the job he did, the people he met and the places he saw during his working life in the tea trade. In the Global Village of the 21st Century, Travels in a Teacup is a refreshing description of a world that has largely disappeared.
