'What Aitken writes about fun is worth reading' Mail on Sunday


Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.

Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.

He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.

By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.

 

Review

What Aitken writes about fun is worth reading ... **** - four stars! - Mail on Sunday

Irresistible. A buzzing mixture of experiment, farce and revelation as Ben Aitken road-tests the outer limits of fun till they squeak. -- Christopher Somerville, author of The January Man and Walking the Bones of Britain

A great book -- Simon Rimmer, Sunday Brunch

Aitken's writing is always a delight -- Madeleine Bunting, author of The Seaside

Boy, can he write - Daily Mail

Ben Aitken finds the funny in everything but he does so without ever losing his warmth or his curiosity. He didn't just make me laugh - he made me want to be a better person. Life affirming and - yes - fun! -- Max Dickins, author of Billy No-Mates
