    [synopsis] => Born in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in 1931, during the days of the British colonials and then living his childhood in England, Tony Buxton returned there to hopefully take over his family's commodities business. Not the typical colonial type, who was expected to segregate himself from the "natives" Tony went against the rules and preferred the company of the Ceylonese. This resulted in him making many friends, including well-known politicians. He soon found he had a passion for the ocean and diving. Giving up his job, he made a meagre living spearing fish, catching lobsters and live tropical fish for aquariums. He eventually offered his services as a guide to the underwater world. This brought him many wealthy and famous customers from all over. They invited them to their homes, where he experienced a life style he hardly knew existed. These vacations could not have been any more adventurous. He enjoyed the best hotels and entertainment and drove around in his friends Masarati wining and dining with some of the most prominent influential colorful people in Europe.

Reading about the adventures of this bold and goodhearted man, makes one want to emulate him. An unusual life indeed, with twists and turns that were never premeditated. "A Charmed Life" in Ceylon" takes the reader on a stunning journey across the marvels of Tony's lifestyle
