About The Author	Dervla Murphy is one of the very best loved of travel writers. She was born in County Waterford and since 1964 has been regularly publishing accounts of her journeys – by bicycle and on foot – in the remoter areas of four continents. She has also written about the problems of Northern Ireland, the hazards of nuclear power, and race relations in Britain. The Times Literary Supplement called her `an admirable woman – she has a romantic soul and a keen eye`.
	'It is Murphy's caustic opinions which make this book …Dervla Murphy is a free-thinking traveller, at once a romantic and a realist, extraordinary for her determination to cross Eurasia at the age of 75 with only her walking sticks and a smattering of Russian … One hopes that the new generation will inherit her indefatigable spirit and gift for good crack'
Other text	A wintry Russian adventure from the intrepid, enchanting, entertaining Irishwoman who has travelled the globe for the last fifty years
