RIDING WITH THE BEAST

Another one of Mutchie (Ian Mutch)’s entertaining books, Riding

With The Beast is a surreal journey by Harley-Davidson from the UK to Israel by land and sea, during the course of which he discovers his girlfriend, who’s riding pillion, is rapidly turning into a grizzly bear. The metamorphosis was invisible to most observers, but convincingly obvious to the author who was baffled by her change.

An unusual tale of emotional bewilderment, delivered with a generous helping of black humour by means of which the author sustains his morale, it’s a great read, and you can get a copy from good online retailers or direct from Mr Mutch himself at theroad@mag-uk.org for just £6.99 (plus £2 p&p).
