In a long and distinguished writing career, John Keay's most recent works have been on south and south-east Asia, most notably 'Last Post: The End of Empire', 'India, A History' and the bestselling ''The Great Arc'. He is married to the author Julia Keay and together they complied the "awesome" Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland. They have four children and live in the Highlands.
From the lunatic fringe of exploration John Keay brings to book another miscellany of wanderers weird and wonderful. Meet the maniac who sailed through the Suez Canal before it was built, or flounder in the mangrove swamps with a lady doing odd jobs for Africa.
