Tim Moore (writer)

Tim Moore (born May 18, 1964 [Moore, T., "French Revolutions", as above] in Chipping Norton [AP Watt, Literary Agents: http://www.apwatt.co.uk/media/frame.asp?left=factual_left.asp?writer_id=5&right=factual_full.asp?writer_id=5 accessed 2007-09-06] ) is a British travel writer and humorist. In addition to his seven published travelogues to date, his writings have appeared in various publications including "Esquire", "The Sunday Times", "The Independent", "The Observer" and the "Evening Standard". He was also briefly a journalist for the Teletext computer games magazine "Digitiser", under the pseudonym Mr Hairs, alongside Mr Biffo (aka comedy and sitcom writer Paul Rose.)

His book "Frost On My Moustache" is an account of a journey in which the author attempts to emulate Lord Dufferin's fearless spirit and enthusiastic adventuring, but comes to identify far more with Dufferin's permanently miserable butler, Wilson, as portrayed Dufferin's travel book "Letters From High Latitudes".

In 2004, Moore presented an ITV programme based on his book "Do Not Pass Go", a travelogue of his journey around the locations that appear on a British Monopoly board.

Moore lives in Chiswick, West London with his Icelandic wife Birna Helgadóttir and their three children, Kristján, Lilja and Valdis. He is also a brother-in-law of Agnar Helgason and Asgeir Helgason, and son-in-law of Helgi Valdimarsson.
