Three talks by Roy Herbert
1—' Alarms and Excursion '
In -this talk Roy Herbert explains how he has always suffered from travel, not because he gets air-sick or seasick (although he does). The kind of travel he suffers from is other people's; and he describes a journey he made to escape from a teller of travellers' tales.
