Plain Tales from the Raj

London: Futura Publications Limited, 1979 The bestselling collection of reminiscences of British India that is based upon the famous Radio 4 series. "One of the most enjoyable books I have read this year, by turns informative, funny and deeply touching. It is an authentic record of the survivors of British India, a book which takes on where Kipling takes off' ANTONIA FRASER "That extraordinary world of crows and dust sunsets, of dinner parties that started with anchovy toast (always) and ended seven courses later with little glass bowls full of water and hibiscus flowers to wash the fingers in; of cane chairs on club verandahs, and damp sugar full of ants; of shining Indian rivers and beautiful women. Pure nostalgia and irresistible" SCOTSMAN "Britons ruled for almost 3 centuries creating a society the like of which will never be repeated. The flavour of the era is captured in Plain Tales from the Raj."
