While recently reviewing some old documents my father came across my grandfather's memoirs about his adventures working in China as an engineer between 1910 and 1932. These memoirs were so interesting that Dad found them worth publishing. Hence "Memories of China" is now available for you to purchase.

Included in this book is a selection of watercolours by my gifted grandmother, Doris Butson. Some of her beautiful paintings are on exhibit at my Studio Gallery which I invite you to come and see.
