The Seven Year Hitch

More about the book

Of all the attempts to circumnavigate the globe, the tale of the Grant family's epic seven year journey by horse-drawn caravan must be the most extraordinary. Plodding across an incredible fifteen countries in three continents, the Grants were confronted with war in Yugoslavia, arrest in Mongolia, deportation from China, and the death of their beloved horse, Traceur. This is a well-honed and comical look at family life in a pressure cooker environment, and an inspirational account of how fireside dreams can be turned into bracing reality.
