More About the Author
ROYSTON ELLIS is a British-born author of some 50 published books who has lived in Sri Lanka since 1980 where he writes in a century-old cottage overlooking the Indian Ocean. His first book, a sequence of poems called Jiving To Gyp, was published by Scorpion Press in 1959, when he was 18. Until 1961 he performed his poems on stage and TV to rock music (Rocketry) backed by The Shadows, Jimmy Page and a group that later became famous as The Beatles (whom he named). After living in the Channel Islands and the Canary Islands he moved to Dominica in 1966 where, as Richard Tresillian, he wrote the best-selling Bondmaster series of historical novels. He specialises now in books with Indian Ocean settings, including the Bradt guides to Mauritius, Maldives and Sri Lanka. (www.roystonellis.com)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best guide available,
This review is from: Sri Lanka by Rail (Paperback)
I have read just about every guide book on Sri Lanka and this is by far my favourite. The author actually lives in Sri Lanka and therefore writes from years of experience as opposed to other authors who get their info from research trips. Although the guide is geared towards rail travel, it also contains useful material on Sri Lanka travel in general.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Still topical though it was published in 1994,

This review is from: Sri Lanka by Rail (Paperback)
Although it was published in 1994, it would still be useful for anyone traveling by rail in Sri Lanka as the railways haven't changed much. Has a fair amount of general information about the country as well.
Serious railfans may prefer the encyclopedic "Railways of Sri Lanka" by David Hyatt.
