Jonny Bealby's Books

Jonny’s writing career began in 1995, when, having returned from driving a motorbike around Africa, he published Running with the Moon, which has since gone on to become something of a travel classic.

                           

Following this success, in 1996 Jonny headed to Pakistan and Afghanistan to follow in the footsteps of his two heroes from English literature, Peachey Carnahan and Daniel Dravot form Kipling’s short story, The Man Who Would Be King. As well as giving rise to his second highly acclaimed book, For a Pagan Song, it also saw Jonny discover the Kalash and from here form his adventure travel company, Wild Frontiers.

But travel writing had not quite seen the back of him. In 1999, on what was undoubtedly his most bizarre escape to date, he rode on horseback from Kashgar to the Caspian Sea with a girl he’d known for only a few hours. This resulted in another book, Silk Dreams, Troubled Road and the much applauded Discovery film; Have Girl will Travel.

Jonny has visited more than 80 countries, has had articles featured in numerous publications and lectured to the Royal Geographical Society on Afghanistan & Pakistan.
