From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

British-born Len Webster's first novel The Turban-Wallah: a tale of Little India was published by Oxford University Press in 1984. It centres on a love story involving a Sikh youth and his Hindu girlfriend and is set against an urban background in the English Midlands.

Len Webster, a member of the Society of Authors, has written and published many short stories and poems, some of which have been broadcast by the British and Singapore Broadcasting Corporations. He was a finalist in the Asiaweek Short Story Competition with the story 'Secrets', which was included in his book Beneath the Blue Moon (Times Editions, Singapore, 1992) and in the anthology Prizewinning Asian Fiction edited by Leon Comber (Times Editions/Hong Kong University Press, 1991). A short story collection appeared in 1994 under the title Hell-Riders & Other Stories (Times Editions, Singapore).

"A Very Individualistic Old Liberal", an edited version of a 1971 interview with Christopher Isherwood conducted when Webster was an exchange student in the USA, was published in Conversations With Christopher Isherwood, edited by James J. Berg and Chris Freeman (University Press of Mississippi, 2001).
