1921. In the wilds of the Malaysian jungle, a clutch of small British children are being brought up by a Swiss nanny, with a monkey for a pet and deadly scorpions in the night nursery . . .
From an eccentric childhood in Malaysia, the south of France and only occasionally Britain, to her years as a young news reporter in Algeria and Italy during World War II, Suzanne St Albans has had an extraordinary life. Charming and utterly fascinating in its detail of another time and another world, this is destined to become a classic.
