Laugh-aloud, witty stories cleverly illustrate the ancient
common origin of all cultures and religions.
In
The Ponsenby Journals, Strange
Stories from India & Other Places, author Rex Roxon
takes us on a wacky, scary, and thought-provoking voyage around
the world. Lt. Col. Ponsenby, a retired Indian Army medic, is
our eyes and ears as he shares his observations by writing
social and historical commentary. His journal includes words of
wisdom that are delivered through the mouths of ostensible
fools, and madcap adventures that rattle your nerves as much as
they tickle your funny bone. Comical missionaries, eccentric
doctors, and man-eating lions all introduce themselves as Lt.
Col. Ponsenby travels through India, Africa, Borneo, Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, and Easter Island. And let’s not forget the
eccentric Egyptologist who has a passion for the mysteries of
the Nile River and a revelation about the antichrist.
The Ponsenby Journals
is a wild romp through distinctive viewpoints, absorbing
history, and the bonds that
unite all cultures and religions.

“A cracking read.
A great entanglement of history and geography with plausible
yet highly entertaining storyline. An amusing yet
enlightening read that has a subtext rich with insight and
wisdom. Funny yet pertinent. Very worthwhile read.
5 stars.”
