An unashamedly nostalgic return to the 1980s with Archbishop Robert Runcie, his Advisor, Terry Waite, and Chaplain, Richard Chartres, as they traverse the globe
'This is Terry as he really is - wise and funny. A good book from a big man. If only he could be the Primate.'
John Sergeant
'A travelogue that is refreshingly irreverent and deeply human.'
James Naughtie
From darkest Africa to the darker and infinitely wetter birthplace of John Knox, from the remote expanse of the Alaska Highway to part of the Antipodes that even Bill Bryson could not reach, Terry Waite takes us on a guided world tour in the company of Dr Robert Runcie.
Even an archbishop has little control over wars and missed connections, floods and food poisoning. But this Primate sailed majestically through the most troubled of waters, as his companions (including Chaplain Richard Chartres) baled energetically in his wake.
Hilarious and affectionate, Travels with a Primate offers an unashamedly nostalgic return to the 1980s. It is a delightful tribute to enduring friendship.
