    About this audiobook

    This wonderful account of four solo bus trips taken by ageing physician and road-addict Trevor Watson breathes new life into the much-loved travelogue genre.
    Narrated masterfully by the author himself, we are taken on a journey across America, as - with open heart and curious mind - Trevor explores the netherworld of long-distance bus travel. Whether he’s chatting with outlaws and mystics, hobnobbing with Mormons in Utah, plunging into Mark Twain’s glorious Mississippi or discovering what happens at the end of the line, Watson’s love of people, oddity and language is deeply engaging and a genuine pleasure to hear.
    Hop on the bus - you’re in for a real treat!
