The Economist have included my book The Art of Camping: The History and Practice of Sleeping Under the Stars on their Best of 2011 list.
Meanwhile, on Thursday 15 December I am giving a talk at agency Ditto.tv concerning campfires and the origins of my name.

A review of my book The Art of Camping was published in The Economist.
“In this delightful combination of history and memoir with a generous dollop of guidance thrown on top, Matthew De Abaitua, editor-at-large of the Idler and an inveterate backpacker, shines his torch under the flysheet of camping… read this gem of a book while you are sitting outside enjoying the fine art of camping.”
