«Mad Dogs and Englishmen» is Ranulph Fiennes's family chronicle, published by Hodder & Stoughton in hardback (400 pages, in English).
The author reconstructs his family tree as a personal expedition: from his ancestor Charlemagne to the family branches close to power in England. Murderers, poisoners, poachers and executed nobles populate his lineage; his account explains the origin of the explorer whom the Guinness Book called 'the world's greatest living explorer'.
Published in 2009 with the subtitle 'An Expedition Round My Family', it includes bibliographic references (pp. 374-377) and an index.
For those interested in the history of England and in the figure of Ranulph Fiennes, explorer and chronicler of his own lineage.
Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 3rd Baronet is an English explorer and writer, who holds several endurance records.
