Total copies: 1
Recounts the time Matt spent with a tribe on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu who believe Prince Philip is a god and will one day return to make good all their ills. A cross between Bill Bryson and Bruce Parry, this hilarious, eye-opening and sometimes eye-watering book sees Matt trying to get to the bottom of this fascinating belief... As a bookish child grwoing up on Merseyside in the 1980s, Matthew Baylis identified with the much-mocked Prince Philip as a fellow outsider. Years later, his Philip-worship long behind him, and now studying anthropology, Baylis discovered the existence of a Philip cult on the South Sea island of Tanna. Why was it there? Nobody had a convincing answer. Nobody even seemed to want to find one. His curiosity fatally piqued, Baylis travelled 10,000 miles to find a society both remote and slap-bang in the shipping-lanes of history.
