Life on the Brim: The Autobiography of a Hat (Paperback)
Two books in one. The adventures of Myhat on the journey to India previously published in “All About My Hat The Hippy Trail 1972” have been described as humorous and educational, whilst “MyHat in Egypt Through the Eyes of a God” takes the reader through modern day tourism in Egypt to fantasy time travel and murder mystery in ancient Egypt.
Now with 360 pages, the reader can enjoy the best of both.
MyHat speaks: “I am a Fedora hat, but no ordinary hat, as I am blessed with the power of observation. I can see and hear through the eyes of the head that I sit on, which enabled me to travel the world and learn.
“These are my memories of my journeys with Al and later with Ed and Ana.
“I first met Al in 1972 in Greece and we travelled on what became known as the Hippy Trail through Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan to India, where Al became impoverished and ill. After several stays in hospital we returned to the UK.
“Those were remarkable times, passing through countries and cities that nowadays, in 2022, are often inaccessible and far more dangerous than in the days of drugs and flower-power.
“Later I was passed to a new head, a man called Ed, and was fortunate to visit Egypt with his lady Ana.
“We
saw Cairo and Luxor with their many pyramids, temples and tombs in 1989
and 1990. Once again we visited Luxor in 2010, and travelled 4000 years
into the past where something even more extraordinary happened.
“So these are my tales of love, mystery, history and murder on the Nile.”

This book is a combination of a travel guide and a travel diary, all from the point of view of a hat.
