About the author

Educated in the UK, Steven Crook was backpacking through Asia in 1991 when he decided to go to Taiwan. He was running out of money and needed a job. That wasn't the only reason, however. Taiwan was scarcely mentioned in his school books and nobody he knew had ever been there. The prospect of visiting such an unfamiliar island was tantalising. He wasn't disappointed; he extended his stay and took up hiking.In 1996 Steven started writing about Taiwan's mountains, temples and museums for newspapers and magazines. By 2009, when he accepted Bradt's offer to write the first edition of this travel guide, he'd seen most of the country - but because new museums, trails and other attractions keep opening, his 'to do and see' list doesn't seem to be getting any shorter.He has now been to every corner of the main island and every one of the outlying archipelagos and he has written about Taiwan's cultural and scenic attractions for international newspapers and inflight magazines. Steven has a keen understanding of what international visitors are likely to enjoy and what they need help with to appreciate.
