Description

This tells of foreign correspondent Christopher Kremmer's, fascinating and timely account of over a decade spent living, travelling, and reporting from Asia, and the Middle East. During this time he formed an obsession with carpets and the 'perfect rug' - an obsession that saw him trace the threads of carpet making throughout the East.
