About this ebook
Discover the amazing wonders of 1930s Burma (now Myanmar) the fascinating fabulously rich country that few have travelled.
Teeming with the joy and abundance of life, the great Irrawaddy river is the life-blood of Myanmar, the country once known as Burma. From its myriad of sources high up in the jungle clad slopes of the mountainous hills bordering China, the 'River of Blessings' winds a thousand miles south to its fertile delta that opens into the Bay of Bengal.
To a little boy conceived in the Kachin Hills and living by the great river for his first five years, the country's fascinating wildness, creatures, culture and essence burns deep into his character, shaping the whole of his life.

M L Eaton has great fun writing cross-genre. Her Mysterious Marsh series of legal mystery thrillers – set in the 1970s on Romney Marsh in the South of England – include a large helping of history, more than a touch of time-slip, a twist of the supernatural and are garnished with fantasy. Complicated maybe – but to her great delight her books have won a BRAG (Book Readers' Appreciation Group) Medallion for excellence. Marion also writes the Faraway Lands series of fictionalised memoirs – 'unputdownable, poetic, funny and poignant' novellas set in the 1930s and 1950s. They will transport you to Burma (now Myanar); Mumbai, India; and Sierra Leone in Africa. 'Spinning into Form' is completely different – a book of meditations that aims to explain how subtle energy impacts our lives, minds and bodies. CDs and Mp3 recordings of the meditations are available from Amazon and cdbaby.com respectively. Marion lives in the beautiful East Sussex countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to the sea and to the 'Mysterious Marsh'. She has the company of a very understanding husband and a very lazy dog. When not writing, walking, talking or cooking, she can be found hidden somewhere in the depths of her large untidy garden. She finds great pleasure and joy in writing and hopes that those who read her books experience something of this.
