'A completely unforgettable story' Afua Hirsch

The gripping true story of one man's ten year expedition from a village in West Africa to the Arctic Circle

Scorching heat, rich, fertile soil, and treacherous snakes marked the landscape in which Tt-Michel grew up in 1950s Togo, West Africa. When he discovered a book on Greenland as a teen, this distant land became an instant obsession - he was determined to journey to the place these pages had revealed to him and embarked on the adventure of a lifetime.

A book of rich and immersive travel writing, Michel the Giant invites the reader to journey alongside an audacious Kpomassie as he makes his way from the equator to the bitter cold of the artic and settles into life with the Inuit peoples, adapting to their foods and customs.
