Philip P. I. Paris has written two non-fiction books. Orkney’s Italian Chapel (2009) is a factual account of the Italian prisoners of war who constructed a chapel on Orkney during World War II. The book covers the history of the camp, the construction process, and the chapel’s survival as a tourist attraction.
Nylon Kid of the North (2012) is a personal memoir about Paris’s childhood in northern England. Where the chapel book deals with wartime history, this one is more intimate and nostalgic, focusing on everyday life and the small moments that shaped him growing up.
