Benjamin Zephaniah decides he has had enough of London. So he takes off to China, specifically to Shaolin Temple, the spiritual home of martial arts and kung fu. Benjamin wants to take on an instructor who will teach him more about kung fu, but finding a good instructor is difficult and the instructor he does finally locate is not only called 'Iron Breath' but also proves a very hard taskmaster. An extraordinary snapshot of Benjamin's life plus Benjamin's own views on politics, Buddhism, kung fu, vegans and much else, but this is also a fascinating insight into China itself and the huge variety of people who Benjamin meets, who react very differently to the appearance of a Rasta in their midst: On occasions even fainting or bowing to Benjamin, thinking he is a god!

Benjamin Zephaniah

Benjamin Zephaniah is probably one of the most high-profile international authors writing today, with an enormous breadth of appeal, equally popular with both adults and children. Most well-known for his performance poetry with a political edge for adults and ground-breaking performance poetry for children, Benjamin also has his own rap/reggae band and has appeared on Desert Island Discs. He is in constant demand internationally to perform his work: He is (he thinks) Nelson Mandela's favorite poet and is the only Rastafarian poet to be short-listed for the Chairs of Poetry for both Oxford and Cambridge University. His previous novels for Bloomsbury are Face, Refugee Boy and Gangsta Rap. He has also edited an anthology of poems, The Bloomsbury Book of Love Poems.
