'A witty, beautifully turned travelogue about benighted Burma (that) is enlivened by Andrew Marshall's wit and his eye for the absurd.' Daily Telegraph
In this two-fold journey Andrew Marshall travels through modern Burma on the trail of the eccentric Victorian adventurer, Sir George Scott. Born in 1851 Scott was an imperialist with a fondness for football - in his travels throughout the country he introduced the sport to the people and widened the goalposts of the British Empire in his own unique way.
However, THE TROUSER PEOPLE is much more than a biography: it is also a revealing portrait of a country that remains an enigma to the modern Western world as a result of its brutal regimes and self imposed-isolation.
