For generation after generation those doughty Victorians and Edwardians were sent out to the great teeming subcontinent of India: to the heat, the smells, the sickness and to a lifestyle that made few concessions to India or to the changing times. it was a world of pukka sahibs and tough burra mems, of Cold Weather Tours, rigidly defined orders of social precedence, dak bungalows, Roorkee chairs, bedding rolls, punkah-wallahs, cholera belts and sola-topees. (flap)

Full of black and white illustrations.
