Kurzbiographie
He travelled widely in far places;
Wrote, and was widely read.
Soldiered, saw some of danger's faces,
Came home to Nettlebed.
The squire lies here, his journeys ended -
Dust, and a name on a stone-
Content, amid the lands he tended,
To keep this rendevous alone.

(Epitaph on his tomb. written by him)

Rezensionen

One of my favorite authors - I think it was Neal Stephenson - recommended this book. And it was fantastic. The adventure is not much of an adventure, but Peter Fleming is very aware of that and handles it perfectly: with a lot of humour and quite a bit of self-deprecation.

If you come across this book, pick it up and read it. You'll be delighted.
