The second story of the author’s pilgrimage through rural Japan, staying in Buddhist temples where the whiskey cost less than in the liquor stores. Again we meet Wild Master, but this time he is digging drains. 152 pages. Illustrated with over 140 pen drawings.

An account of a journey to the Greek island of Andros – one of the least known of the Greek islands, except to the Greeks who would like to keep it that way. It is the most northern of the Cyclades, and is regarded as one of the most fertile. A good guide for those wishing to learn about an interesting Greek island before it too is ‘developed’. The author also illustrated A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO ANDROS, published in Greece and not obtainable in Australia. 104 pages, 76 drawings.

A sketching trip to Spain undertaken by Ron and Anne Edwards in 1993. Anne had always dreamt of seeing Andalusia, in particular the Alhambra in Granada, so they set off with folding bikes, a single change of clothes and sketching gear. 107 pages, 85 drawings.

A light-hearted look at Greek Island life in verse. The dreaded motorbikes are found on every island, as are charming villages, friendly people, wine, cheese and fresh bread, all tasting good whichever island you happen to be on. 80 pages.

An account of a journey from Kuranda to Jondaryan in 2003

With a good PR man this journey could have made headlines, not the front page perhaps, but somewhere towards the middle, and nowhere near the social jottings. It was, as far as the Chinese tourist officials were aware, the first time a group of tourists was allowed to travel overland from north of Tibet down to Lhasa. The Chinese guides decided it would be the first and last trip due to the risks involved. 112 pages, 67 drawings.

The third of the Buddhist pilgrimage series. This volume takes us from Hiwasa, the finishing port in the last book, onwards around the coast to finish on the wild south-west coast of the island. The tone of this book is softer than the previous two, a quiet journey by bicycle through the gentle rain of Shikoku. 136 pages and over 100 pen drawings.

The final book in the series describing how the author rode from Temple 66 to Temple 88, then over the mountains to Temple 1, thus closing the circle. At last he visited Wild Master who made no comment on his student’s 1500km circuit. 108 pages, 75 illustrations.

The fourth in the series, this one takes the reader up the west coast of Shikoku Island, and tells of staying in mountain top temples and being woken at dawn by the pilgrim’s bells as they toiled up the narrow paths below. 136 pages and 112 drawings.
