Good travel books make you feel like you are there with the writer; the best travel books light a fire under you to go in search of an adventure of your own. North to Norway is both good and the best. The travails and mishaps and glorious surprises of Stephen Oliver's thrilling journey across Europe from south to north are related with immediacy and generosity. He shows why motorcycles were really invented: to take us out into the world and end up finding our inner humanity.

An inspiring read. Erudite, entertaining and funny. Warning: may cause severe wanderlust.
Geoff Hill - author of In Clancy's Boots, Way to Go, The Road to Gobblers Knob
With a smooth flowing writing style Stephen Oliver puts the reader right there with him on the roads of Europe. He brings the magic of travelling by motorcycle from Spain to Norway to life with sometimes pithy, frequently colourful observations.
As he introduces the people he meets along the way with neat descriptions, he brings alive their environments, cultures and the quirks of their histories.
His honesty and easy sense of humour, add to the mix. Addictive reading.
