A boy's own - and girls! - adventure of a trek, from the High Atlas mountains, across the Anti Atlas, then following the exotic river Draa into the Sahara. You will fall into a world and people as fascinating and friendly as any fairy tale.
- Mike McHugo OBE
Stumbling Over Eden starts with an idea born on the top of Mt Toubkal the highest peak in North Africa - to walk from the roof of the High Atlas Mountains to the sands of the Sahara Desert. What results is a fantastical tale involving a Krupp cannon, arrest, being tailed by the secret service, the lairs of old warlords, a spirit dog, a lost tribe of dwarfs and an amorous camel. But more than that, it is a story of resilience, companionship, independence, the strange weave of history and the true meaning of adventure.
Steve Bonham is an award-winning psychologist, a musician, an adventurer and a vagabond philosopher. He is the author of A Little Nostalgia for Freedom, A Beautiful Broken Dream and How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World.
