THE WALLS OF INDIA.

Toronto: Lester & Orpen Dennys, 1985. 136 pp, small 4to (10 1/4" H). Colour reproductions of paintings by Tony Onley. B&w maps. "(T)he great subcontinent is brilliantly revealed through the skill of both painter and prose writer. On the long journey that took the travellers from the deserts and hills of Rajasthan in the north-west corner, from the Abode of Kings and the Apes of Amber to Kerala and the City of the Serpent; from the tall hills of Darjeeling to Delhi, City of Conquerors, the people and places of India are vividly evoked. Encompassing the striking contrasts that exist within the country itself, (this book) is a moving portrait of an ancient country and a civilization in transition."
