Adonis & BigNose In China

Mary Perry and Edward Garner relate the compelling tale of a year in China spent teaching English and travelling... Mary was born in Durban, grew up in Johannesburg, spent 15 years in Newcastle, Northern KwaZulu Natal, where she was Akela of the Wolf Cubs for many years and started her teaching career at St Dominic's Academy. She then moved to Durban and taught at Durban Girls' High School for 15 years before going to England for 'an adventure'. She has two sons and is a proud grandmother of four wonderful boys and a gorgeous little girl. Edward Garner was born at Derby, England and now lives in South Africa. As a professional soldier he travelled the world, including Norway, Malta, Russia, Cyprus and Germany. On leaving the army he and his family lived in Ireland for 22 years where he wrote a regular weekly newspaper column and also wrote a number of books on local history. He and his late wife eventually moved back to Derby, where his three children and two grandchildren still live.
