Jeremy Seal set out across Turkey, in the extremes of winter, to trace the astonishing history of a cone-shaped hat.

Extremely well written and very funny' Eric Newby 'Original and beautifully observed, the book reads like Chatwin with jokes' Independent 'Intelligent, funny and informative travelogue . . .
