SIAMESE WHITE

by Maurice Collis

Foremost among the biographies that Maurice Collis wrote during his wide-ranging literary career is Siamese White - an account of the career of Samuel White of Bath who, during the reign of James II, was appointed by the King of Siam as a mandarin of that country. The book superbly embodies that old adage - truth is stranger than fiction.

'A magnificent story, full of
interest and excitement, but
there is more to it than that.
Collis, who has lived for
years on the scene of these
high happenings, is able to
give us a first-hand picture
of a fascinating land: of a
lovely archipelago, of rivers
and rapids, of an immemorial
track through jungles haunted
by tigers and malaria.' Evening Standard

About the Author

Maurice Collis was born in 1889, the son of an Irish solicitor. He entered the Indian Civil Service in 1911 and was posted to Burma, rising to the position of district magistrate in Rangoon in 1929, where the independence of his judgments displeased his superiors who moved him to the position of Excise Commissioner. He returned to England in 1934. He wrote over twenty books, including volumes of autobiography, travel writing, novels, histories and three plays. He died in 1973.
