Mike Parker: Home (original) (raw)
Croeso: welcome to the website of the writer,
broadcaster and map addict, Mike Parker
Mike Parker is a writer and broadcaster based in mid Wales whose travel writing takes him all over Europe. Read more about his books, broadcasts and talks, or follow him on Twitter.
Mike Parker's new book All the Wide Border: Wales, England and the places between is published on March 30th 2023 by Harper North.
It’s the story of the Wales-England border – as a line on the map, an ongoing history, a thing in our heads and as something that roared so unexpectedly into focus in the pandemic.
Jesse Armstrong, creator of Succession and Peep Show, says:
"I loved this book. Mike Parker weaves together a great deal of wide reading, hard thinking and soulful tramping in his funny, thoughtful and evocative investigation of the Welsh–English border."
Mike is out and about promoting All the Wide Border through the spring and summer. Catch him at one of these events >>
