Hilton, James: Knight Without Armour. V1. 30 Oct 2010
James Hilton (9 September 1900 – 20 December 1954) was an English novelist, and author of several best-sellers including Lost Horizon (which popularised the mythical Shangri-La) and Goodbye Mr. Chips.
KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOR was published in America six months after LOST HORIZON, yet before LOST HORIZON began to win popularity--thus it missed the wider appeal it might otherwise have had. Set in Russia, it is the story of Ainsely Fothergill, an Englishman who served as a British spy and was exiled to Siberia for eight years. The book reminds us that James Hilton was one of the best storytellers of our era, and that a good story never loses its appeal. |

Thanks
Thanks for continuing in Patricia's vein of works and thank you especially for including a bit of info on the book, rather than a non-informative excerpt. I loved Lost Horizons, but I've never read anything other than Good-bye Mr. Chips, so I'll look forward to reading this.
