Author Description

Anne Grieger (nEe Reed) was born in India before the war, before working as a secretary in London, Singapore, Bombay and Madras. For the last 45 years she has been a trailing spouse, mainly in South America and Europe, while indulging in her hobbies of writing for magazines, producing soft furnishings and collecting thimbles. Her memoir of her childhood describes her escapades and fond relationships with the family's servants in India at the time of the British Raj. From the desolation of being sent away to school in England to the joy of returning to the country she called 'home', though her English parents did not, this book records a life in an era now gone for ever.
