Janice Booth
Bio
Until her death in February 2023, Janice Booth's working life included professional stage management, archaeology, working for a Belgian NGO, compiling logic-puzzle magazines and travelling widely. She drove Land Rovers in Timbuktu, walked with water-buffalo in Tamil Nadu, and waded in the breakers of Namibia's Skeleton Coast. She initiated and co-wrote the Bradt guide to Rwanda, co-authored Bradt’s Socotra (with Hilary Bradt) as well as editing many Bradt guides to various far-flung places. After moving to Devon, within sound of the sea, she co-authored (again with Hilary Bradt) Slow South Devon & Dartmoor and Slow East Devon & the Jurassic Coast, and was for many years a judge on Bradt's annual travel-writing competition.
