A positive review of The Art of Camping by Alexander Larman in The Spectator:
“Yet his genuine engagement with both the idealistic and practical sides of camping (an appendix by his wife, Cath, provides a thorough packing list of necessities, a welcome and useful touch) means that this seductive account of the pleasures and benefits of a simpler life under canvas will leave all but the most craven with a desire to dig out their tents and head to pastures new. ”
