I had the good fortune of being able to attend a talk and book signing session by the celebrated author John Keay recently in Chandigarh. The event was organised at the British Council in Chandigarh on the 24 th of January. His latest book is called 'The Tartan Turban' and is the life story of Alexander Gardner, a soldier of fortune who lived roughly two centuries ago.
I have been an avid reader of John Keay's books from the last 20 odd years. He is a pretty prolific author, with over 20 books to his credit. He is specially known for his interest in British India, for doing exhaustive research for his books and his lucid and readable prose. The two books closest to my heart are 'Where men and mountains meet' and 'The great arc'.
More power to your pen Mr. Keay!! Keep writing.
