Sketches of Persia, although published anonymously in 1827, is
attributed to Sir John Malcolm (1769 1833). Malcolm was a diplomat
and administrator in India: arriving at the age of fourteen in 1783
to work for the East India Company, he was known during his long
career as 'Boy' Malcolm. He swiftly moved into more political and
diplomatic roles. He became fluent in Persian and was despatched to
Persia for part of his career, though he would eventually return to
India and become Governor of Bombay (1827 1830). In Volume 1 of
Sketches, Malcolm starts the journey from Bombay, sailing into the
Persian Gulf, arriving at Abusheher, where he stays many weeks.
From there his party moves inland into the mountains, and finally
reaches Shiraz and then Persepolis. Throughout his journey, Malcolm
fills this work with his observations about the people he meets,
and recounts Persian folk stories and fables.
