Mister Timeless Blyth by Alan Spence (Tuttle) has been longlisted for the The Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction.

Imprisoned as a conscientious objector during the first World War and interned as an enemy alien in Japan during the second, Reginald Horace Blyth was a poet, a scholar, a musician, a linguist and a man of Zen who became a teacher to an emperor. Ultimately, he became the key link and mediator between the Japanese Imperial Household and the occupying American forces.

We had a book launch with Alan Spence at the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation on 24 October:
