Travels with Charley: In Search of America

This book is not so much informative as it is enjoyable. Written by famous author John Steinbeck, this is one of the best books ever written about RVing with a canine companion. It;s also a look back to a time when RVing was simpler and more of an adventure.

When he was 58, John Steinbeck went on a road trip with his French Poodle named Charley. They set out to discover America and Steinbeck takes you with him as he vividly describes his encounters with truckers and bears at Yellowstone Park.

At that time there weren't as many RVs as there are today so Steinbeck's RV attracted a lot of attention everywhere he went. Even though by today's standards it would be considered primitive, it was a comfortable and snug home for Steinbeck and Charley and it took them on many adventures.

Regardless of the fact of whether you're an avid RVer or not, you will be intrigued after reading this fascinating book and you may find yourself eager to embark on a similar adventure. The book is entertaining enough to be read many times. Paperback, 224 pages, Publisher: Penguin, ISBN-10: 0142000701.
