Michael Tobert鈥檚 books have been either literary, historical or humorous (or a combination of all three). Frequently overlapping these categories, has been his deep interest in India.

Before he started writing, Michael went to Oxford University, started a publishing company of sorts and later studied the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, at the University of Edinburgh.

He lives in Scotland where he and his wife have built a Montessori nursery school at the bottom of their garden. While she nurtures the children, he scythes the nettles and whispers encouragement to the wild flowers.

His website is the place for more details: ...more

Quotes by Michael Tobert (?)

“The street outside is empty, lit only by a half moon; yet factory engines beat in the background and the working day is about to begin. Maggie steps out of the tenement and suddenly the street begins to fill with women, some running, some pulling their jackets around them, some lighting pipes, some, like Maggie herself, taking a pinch of snuff. From other tenements come other women, and soon all merge into one, like a herd of cattle off to market, clopping over the stone pavements and the cobbles, lowing with last night鈥檚 news.”

“Secrets,鈥� she replied, casting my trousers aside, 鈥榓re difficult things. Not precise. Not always the same for the one who tells as for the one who receives. They make demands. They may cause you to ask yourself, 鈥淎m I worthy?鈥濃€� At which, as if to illustrate the point, she removed her bra and watched me follow the lines of her magnificent form with my eyes.”
