	CORNUCOPIA 24: EXTRAORDINARY LIVES
		BFG: BIG FRIENDLY GIANT By David Barchard At six foot four and 20 stone, Frederick Gustavus Burnaby was said to be the strongest man in Britain. The exploits of this maverick cavalry officer, explorer and erstwhile politician were the stuff of Victorian schoolboy fantasy. His memoirs of his travels in Turkey were best-sellers in their day and have seldom been out of print since. The conversations he enjoyed en route still have a freshness today that no successor has ever surpassed. David Barchard pays tribute.
