Maps of My Life, By Guy Browning
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Guy Browning's favourite reading material in the "small room" has always been Philip's School Atlas, hence he decided that his memoirs should also be the story of his best-loved maps.
These cartographic-based gems range from early days in Chipping Norton, to memories of his father's brief posting to El Salvador.
A humorist with a gift for absurdity, Browning's account will bring a smile to the face of anyone born in the Sixties, especially those familiar with "Long Marches" – family rambles involving short-cuts across M.O.D. Danger Areas.
The funniest chapter recounts his courtship of a girl and a series of disastrous encounters with her father.
