Description
Canadian Rajah is the incredible -- and true -- story of Esca Brooke Daykin. He was the first-born son of the legendary "White Rajah of Sarawak" but was exiled from that country (a British colony, now part of Malaysia) to the backwoods of Eastern Ontario. Esca's very existence was erased from his birth country's history books. He waged a lifelong battle to have his true identity and parentage recognized. Esca's life spans continents, races, generations and centuries -- and only now is it being told.
