has abstract	Nicholas Best is a British author of Anglo-Irish origin. He grew up in Kenya and was educated there, in England and at Trinity College, Dublin. He served with the Grenadier Guards in Windsor and Belize and worked in London as a journalist before becoming a full-time author. He lives now in Cambridge. His early books include Happy Valley: The story of the English in Kenya, and Where were you at Waterloo?, a satirical novel of army life. His second novel, Tennis and the Masai, was later serialised on BBC Radio 4. It told the story of a Kenya prep school similar to Best's own, where the cricket score arrived by carrier pigeon and runaway boys were hunted down with spearmen and tracker dogs. Tennis and the Masai was recently a best-seller in the Amazon Top 100. In 2010, Best was long-listed for the Sunday Times short story award with The Souvenir, a satirical account of American furniture salesmen scouring the Amazon for shrunken heads. His novellas Point Lenana and The Hangman's Story have both been No 1 best-selling Kindle Singles. His most recent full-length book is Bell Harry, a collection of short stories about Canterbury Cathedral. (en)
