Letters From High Latitudes




The book's lively style and irreverent humour made it a great success, but Lord Dufferin did not pursue a career in writing. Instead, he became a Diplomat , later serving as British Ambassador to Russia and the Ottoman Empire , and as Governor-General Of Canada and Viceroy Of India .

'' Frost On My Moustache '' by Tim Moore is an account of a journey in which the author attempts to emulate Lord Dufferin's fearless spirit and enthusiastic adventuring, but comes to identify far more with Dufferin's permanently miserable butler, Wilson.
