SLOW COAST HOME:A 5000-MILE JOURNEY AROUND THE SHORES OF ENGLAND AND WALES

Book ID/图书代码： 07980004B07866

English Summary/英文概要： Josie Dew’s love of cycling has taken her across the world, travelling everywhere from Japan and Mexico to Iceland, India and Algeria. In her latest book, she sets off on another quirky and riotous ride, choosing to circumnavigate the coastline of the British Isles. And she discovers that her homeland can be as surprising and full of incident as anywhere she has ever been. Beginning in Portsmouth, Josie sets off in a clockwise direction after a Shetland grandmother warns her that she’ll end up meeting the devil if she travels anti-clockwise. Through rain, hail, floods, bitter temperatures, minor earthquakes and dusty drought, Josie pedals on, eventually returning to Land’s End to complete Stage One of her remarkably lengthy odyssey along 5,000 miles of seaside, estuaries, creeks and islands. But is all as it seems? Who is the mysterious builder who appears at all the wrong moments? Who are the two-wheeled taggers-on lurking in her wake? What did she find at Puckpool Point, Bozomzeal and Woon Gumpus? And how did Josie so badly miscalculate her approach to the seafront at Newhaven that she landed in France?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Josie Dew 就是因为对骑脚踏车的痴迷，所以才会决心骑车环游世界，她来到过的地方不计其数，从日本到墨西哥到冰岛、印度再到阿尔及利亚。在她这本最新的旅行游记中，她骑上她脚踏车，又踏上了另一条离奇而又躁动的旅程，她环游了整条不列颠群岛海岸，她渐渐地意识到她土生土长的故乡原来不比其它她所去过的地方差劲，它也同样充满惊喜和变迁。Josie沿朴次茅斯以顺时针方向出发，当然这是她在接受她远在设得兰群岛的外祖母的告诫之后做出得决定---她告诉她，如果她以逆时针的方向航行的话，他就会遇到大头鬼。不管是暴风雨雪、冰雹、洪灾还是刺骨的温度，亦或是小型地震、粉尘漫天的干旱，这些都阻挡不了Josie的车轮，她一步一步地往前踏，最后辗转反折，回到了英格兰西南端的兰兹角，这才完成了她那了不起的、沿海边、.河口、小溪和岛屿的、漫漫5千里长征的第一阶段。但这一切是不是就这么简单呢？谁是那位神秘兮兮、又总在不恰当的时候出现的建筑师呢？伺机尾随其后的两轮“跟屁虫”又是谁呢？那她在Puckpool Point、Bozomzeal以及 Woon Gumpus又有何发现？ 还有就是Josie 怎么会如此错误地估算她在登陆法国后去Newhaven 海边公路的途径的？
