Quirky. Mysterious. Humourous. Intense. All describe the strangely satisfying novel The Birth of the Bloohs. Take a cock-eyed look at the weirder side of Scandinavia through the eyes of an ex-rock musician, who is now an unemployed would-be travel writer. Al Parsons finally hears from his agent. His job is to travel to Denmark and find his way around Scandinavia while taking notes for a travel book that he may or may not be asked to write. Al meets a young Dane named Sven in a London pub, who hands him a small sealed package to deliver to the owner of a sleazy bar in Copenhagen. Putting aside his misgivings, Al meets Mac, the owner of the bar, who gives him not only a tour of Copenhagen, but also his ancient Volvo. His next destination is Stockholm, where he finds the "package" in the glove box, tightly wrapped and slightly larger. Throughout his travels, Al is dogged by a big but unlucky Dane in a silver Saab. In Norway Al meets an Australian couple whose purpose seems to be organising hamster races, but it happens they are also trained singers. With them, Al once again finds his musical roots and forms a singing group named The Bloohs. Whatever happened to the package? Find out Having grown up in London during the blitz, John Hanscomb now lives with his wife in Denmark. "Seeing lots of bad information in travel books, I decided to go the whole hog. No one should rely on this book for their travels in Scandinavia." http: //sbpra.com/JohnHanscomb
