H.D. Greaves

H.D. Greaves lives in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, where he was born and raised. Although he has travelled extensively, his island home has always held a special place in his heart.

Now in his eighties, he has twenty-one books on Amazon and Kindle ereader. Here are some of them:

MANDRAGORA - A Ribald and Irreverent Tale from the Italian Renaissance.

MANDRAGORA has so far received several five star reviews on Amazon, including one that states: "Written in the best tradition of Rabelais, Boccaccio, and Voltaire, if you love the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and satire, read this book."

OF BLISS AND GRANTED WISHES - A True Story Told as a Novel

This novel has received several five star reviews.

CLIZIA - A Tale of Scandalous Surprises from the Italian Renaissance, based, like Mandragora on a play by Machiavelli.

THE NARRATIVE VOICE - Nine Intriguing Stories and a Novella.

H.D. Greaves has also lovingly Prefaced and Edited a beautiful edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Rendered into English Verse by Edward FitzGerald. H.D.'s edition features all five of FitzGerald's versions, as well as FitzGerald's biography of Omar Khayyam, a Glossary, and all of FitzGerald's notes on his five versions. It is available in high quality paperback with a beautiful cover and at a reasonable price.

H.D. says that with perseverance (and not a little luck), it is never too late to create and to succeed.
