Kiss the sunset pig

Visit Casablanca, Lancashire, Iran and the Pyrenees with our new travel books. Ditch the donkey, follow in the steps of Stanley and search for a pangolin. Daniel Kalder travels to obscure Soviet republics in 'Lost cosmonaut : travels to the republics that tourism forgot'.
(A pangolin is a scaly anteater according to the online OED - it has "a body covered with large horny scales, a small head with an elongated snout, a long sticky tongue for catching ants and termites, and a tapering tail".)
