Mike Parker
Mike Parker has written radio and TV travelogues, and numerous books. These always take his sense of place as their starting point, but mix in memoir, history, identity, politics and belonging. His books include the bestselling Map Addict, republished this year, its critically-acclaimed follow-up The Wild Rover, the cult Neighbours From Hell?, and The Greasy Poll, a political diary from when he nearly became a Plaid Cymru MP.
