Book Description

Plain Tales from the Raj offers the unmistakable tones of some seventy British men and women whose lives followed the course of Anglo-India through its last fifty years, from the carefree Edwardian childhood under a blazing sun to the final loss of confidence and the twilight years of war, the horrors of Partition, the hurried departures  and the extended regrets. The radio series of the same name is deservedly one of the most outstandingly popular programmes of recent years, and Jeremy Rundall wrote appreciatively in the Sunday Times of the ‘authentic, reminiscing voices, some sad, many drily amusing, all marked for life by the protocol and traditions of the Raj.
