David Jenkins lies awake in the early hours, his mind posing trivia questions plucked at random. Suddenly one in particular springs into focus: "How many countries in the world have only four letters in their name?" It marks the start of his personal challenge to visit all ten Four-Letter Countries, blissfully unaware of the scale of his mission or the dangers ahead.

He tracks smugglers in Oman, gains entry to the President's mansion in Togo, carries a mystery testicle around Peru and learns how to poo in Timbuktu. After David's hilarious and moving account of his travels, can alphabet travelling really catch on?
