This is a most unusual book. Written by the King of Bukuri and privately printed as a gift to his close friends, it is an anthology of interesting and marvellous pieces he collected during his exile in Britain. Now republished for a wider audience, this book is a facsimile of that gift. Beautifully designed and illustrated, the Olio contains a wide range of extracts taken from poetry, diaries, travelogues, children's stories, novels and many other genres, all of which in some way elucidate the beauty and wonder of the world. Authors include Marcel Proust, William Blake, John Ruskin, John Mandeville, Andrew Marvell, Thomas Browne, Edward Lear, Rabindranath Tagore, Charlotte Smith and Issa.
