Product Description

Product Description
"For A Pagan Song" tells the story of how John Bealby follows the footsteps of his two heroes from literature, Kipling and Dravot, travelling across remote parts of India and Parkistan and into war-torn Afghanistan. Picturing himself seated by a roaring fire, listening to the song of a pagan chief, Jonny sets out to experience the ancient ways of the tribes of Kafiristan - and discovers himself along the way.

About the Author

He has visited more than sixty countries and has had articles featured in a variety of publications including the Daily Telegraph, Observer, Traveller, and Manchester United Magazine. He is the author of Running with the Moon, For a Pagan Song and Silk Dreams, Troubled Road.

5.0 out of 5 stars honesty, 17 Jan 2001
By A Customer
It is very easy to come back from your travels and boast about your explorations - not Jonny Bealby. He has written a travel account that is both refreshingly honest and humourous throughout. Bealby sets off on a discovery of a forgotten tribe, a journey from the plains of Northern India through Pakistan and the mountains of Afghanistan. Always humbled by the resolve and hospitality of the people he meets on the way and never patronising, it's a joy to be part of the expedition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, sad, illuminating and uplifting, this is a cracker., 27 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Alarmingly naive at first, but growing more wily by the day, Jonny Bealby nevertheless demonstrates grit to match that of his fictional heroes on this sometimes pretty hairy pilgrimage to the pagan hills of Afghanistan. Since the events of September 11th, the fact that this eminently well written account offers considerable insights into the sociology of the area is an added bonus, but what really makes this an unforgettable read is the poignant personal backdrop, for details of which you will also need to read his first book, "Running With The Moon". If there is a single drop of traveller's blood in your veins, or if you have ever really been in love, you will find delight and heartfelt grief in the pages of this book. Don't be alarmed however, by the mention of grief. To temper the sadness, events in the final few pages will make you weep with quiet joy.
