In Search of the Kamasutra

Old Alleynian travel writer James McConnachie's new book on the history of the Kamasutra has just be published by Atlantic Books. The Book of Love tells the story of the Kamasutra, which was written in Northern India in the third century AD and sought out and translated in the nineteenth century by Victorian scholars including Richard Burton of "Pay, pack and follow" fame. James may be better know for his Rough Guides including The Loire and Conspiracy Theories (with fellow OA, Robin Tudge).
