Green Earth & Gilded Temples

 GREEN EARTH & GILDED TEMPLES

A Memoir and an Unfinished Novel by Frank Woodhead
Edited by Michael Woodhead

This book of my father's writings contains Green Earth & Gilded Temples, an unfinished novel based on the British retreat from Rangoon to Imphal during World War II, specifically January 1942-August 1942.

However, there is also an autobiographical entry covering various memories of growing up, some of which Frank didn't include in The Road to Mandalay, Rendezvous and Other Writings, or Arakan Adventure. This one is simply called A Lancashire Lad
