More about the book.
The richly detailed beauty of France unfolds along the back roads as single mum Emma and three-year-old Lola embark upon a remarkable road trip in honour of her father. The journey, which begins as a fundraising challenge in aid of Multiple Sclerosis, is testament to the reliability of Clancy, a Peugeot 504 with a colourful history of traversing hundreds of thousands of miles in extreme conditions.
 Blending a mother's devotion to her loved ones and the thrill of the open road, Clancy Goes to France is an inspiring story of how life should be about shared experiences and the appreciation of simple pleasures. This travel memoir celebrates the lessons passed on from parent to child and illustrates how a love of travel binds the generations of a family. The story lends itself as a travel guide to France's most alluring destinations and includes wonderful descriptions of the places they meandered through. The delightful writing about The Loire, Provence, Aquitaine and the Pyrenees allows you to experience the stunning scenery and culture in each region, letting your imagination conjure images and feelings that you are perhaps joining them, a world away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
About the author 
Emma is a single mum who resides in Somerset, in the UK. Despite this, she always has one eye on the next trip over the channel to France.
Clancy Goes to France is the flagship book of the Travels with Lola series which includes children's mini-memoirs, written and illustrated by Emma and Lola together. In these books they also share photos from their adventures. 
Emma takes inspiration from Peter Mayle of A Year in Provence fame, and hopes that one day she too will sit with a glass of wine in hand in rural France, contemplating the next story to be shared.
