Ragtrader founder Fraser Beath McEwing has released his latest book - this time, taking on ventures outside of fashion.
McEwing: "I've put my funny travelogues into a book which has just been published. Its title is A Toast to Travel."
Most travel writing flatters destinations and how to get there. But not this book.
While McEwing loves travel, he has a wicked eye for absurdities, stuff-ups and grim realities, all narrated by a supreme humourist.
Beginning in 2020 with a trip to India he goes back to 2013, through many countries and off the beaten track.
He tells of the good, the bad and the ugly, laced with history and quirky facts. And he regularly reports frankly on hotel toasters he encounters at breakfast times.
"If you want to take a flying carpet to discover perfection and beauty, this is not for you," McEwing said.
But if you want to laugh out loud, welcome to A Toast To Travel."
It is available from Amazon, Booktopia and Barnes & Noble.
