| ABOUT TOM Tom Fremantle is a writer and public speaker, who also dabbles in English teaching and shepherding. His first book, Johnny Ginger‘s Last Ride, about a bicycle ride between Swanbourne, England and Swanbourne, Australia was published by Macmillan in 2000. It is now a bestseller, well, at least in parts of rural Buckinghamshire. Since then he has walked 2700 miles from Mexico to Manhattan, accompanied by a cantankerous but heroic 17-year-old pack mule. His book about the journey, The Moonshine Mule, was published by Constable and Robinson in 2003. His latest book, The Road to Timbuktu, centres on a journey down the River Niger in West Africa, following in the trail blazing footsteps of the explorer Mungo Park. “A delightful and well informed travelogue” wrote Benedict Allen in The Independent, selecting The Road to Timbuktu as one of his books of the year.
