Peter Mayne
About
Peter Mayne (1908–1979) was an English travel writer who wrote about his experiences in North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Greece. His father, C. Mayne, was Principal of Rajkumar College in Rajkot, India from 1903 to 1923, and later became guardian of the young Maharajah of Jaipur. After attending school in England, Mayne returned to India. Following Partition, he served as deputy secretary to Pakistan's Ministry of Refugees and Rehabilitation. In 1949, he moved to Morocco; four years later, his first and probably best-known book, an account of his residence in the city's Medina, was published as The Alleys of Marrakesh in England and the United States. Since the 1982 Eland edition, new editions of the book have appeared under the alternative title A Year in Marrakesh.
