A fascinating tale of a young Canadian in Siam during the 19th Century.
Paul Gittins was educated at Wellington College and Exeter College, Oxford where he read English literature. His previous book was a poetry anthology Portraits in Verse published in 1997. In 2000, having spent much of his life working with horses, he moved to Majorca where he finally had the time and opportunity to transcribe his grandfather's diaries which had remained unread for seventy years. He is now preparing a collection of his poetry which is due out this autumn.
