Autor

John Pakenham worked in theater and then in the film industry as a special effects technician, including on The Empire Strikes Back. Fascinated by the journeys of past adventurers, he befriended the last of the old-school explorers, Wilfred Thesiger, who encouraged him, between movies, to travel without modern comforts, using only map and compass, donkeys and camels. That created the foundation for the treks described in Walks on the Wild Side.
