Moving Across The World On Horses

Born in Sri Lanka in 1943, educated in Dulwich, and now living in Canada - Michael Ondaatje has criss-crossed the world in a search for what he calls the "unofficial story". Ondaatje takes mythical characters like the outlaw Billy the Kid and the mysterious Buddy Bolden, father of New Orleans Jazz, and reconstructs their stories using "prose, white space and photographs" with a style that has won him critical acclaim from all over the world.
