'What Aitken writes about fun is worth reading' Mail on Sunday'Irresistible' Christopher Somerville, author of The January Man and Walking the Bones of Britain'A great book' Simon Rimmer, Sunday Brunch'Aitken's writing is always a delight' Madeleine Bunting, author of The SeasideAre you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't. Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh. He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip. By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.
