The Adventures of Ali Thunda (Books 1-5) is a work of historical fiction inspired by a Jamaican Rastafarian personally known to the Author, who hitch-hiked from England to Ethiopia, 1964.

About the Book

The Adventures of Ali Thunda (Books 1-5) is a work of historical fiction based on the life of Mr. Noel Dyer, a Jamaican Rastafari personally known to the Author, whose quest for his promised land, the ancient biblical land of Ethiopia provided the inspiration for The Adventures of Ali Thunda, Books 1-5.

The Author has created the story with a certain flavour of authenticity by quoting Ali Thunda personally in italics throughout the book.

The Adventures of Ali Thunda (Books 1-5) has opened a small window through which the reader may view and contemplate the social environment of the 1960’s in Jamaica - which gave rise to an important character as Ali Thunda who described himself as a symbol of the Rastafarian Faith.

Although Ali Thunda was illiterate, he did not lack intelligence, imagination and highly retentive skills. He stored information very efficiently in his memory instead of writing them down on a note pad as literate people often do.

The names used in the narrative are all fictional and any similarity to specific individuals is purely coincidental. The story is neither a biography of Ali Thunda nor an analysis of the Rastafarian beliefs and practices
