Remark :
Kellie's Castle is a famous landmark and a popular destination. Search the internet and you will find all kinds of tales about the man who built it - a Scotsman named William Kellie Smith. But how much of what you will find is true, and how much is imaginary?
The Man Who Built A Castle is a result of careful research into the man behind the myth. It explores the reasons why he came to Perak in 1889, the true story of how he met his wife, Agnes, and how - together - they made their fortune. There are answers here too, for why Kellie's Castle was never completed, and how Kellie's Castle was rescued from the jungle that had reclaimed it.
The pictures show the front and back of the book "The Man Who Built A Castle", researched and written by Mike Gibby. The above extract is taken from the short summary found on the back cover of the book.
