Originally published in paperback, this book has been handsomely rebound in a 3/4 black leather binding. There's a bump to the bottom edge, otherwise this book is clean and bright, with no creases, no tears, and no markings. We have another Maurice Collis title with a matching leather binding, Trials in Burma.

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"".
