These have been thematically grouped into such chapters as: People; The Station; TheSocial Setting; The Climate; Servants; Sport; Epigrams; Bon-Mots, Eating and Drinking; Birds, Insects and Animals; Translations; Some Portraits; Nostalgia. The authors range from Rudyard Kipling to bored memsahibs and housewives.This anthology will delight all readers who wish to savour the zest, the elegance, the condescension, the charm, and the delightfully casual outpourings of white men and women who needed to unburden themselves of their woes and joys and observations in India.
