Why read it?
1 author picked The Tent, The Bucket And Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I laughed so much at The Tent, The Bucket and Me, a chatty account of hilarious, true life camping stories (and disasters) based on the author’s childhood in seventies Britain.

From Karola's list on The best laugh out loud comedies with heart and soul.
