The British experience in India is examined in this modern travelogue written by a former child of the British Raj. Visiting his birthplace in India and journeying throughout India, Aghanistan, Burma and Sri Lanka, the author goes backwards and forwards in time, quoting from letters and using family papers and reminiscences to evoke a picture of a vanished social world. Raleigh Trevelyan was born in the Adaman Islands and sent home to school in England at the age of eight. He is a publisher and the author of many novels, including "A Pre-Raphaelite Circle", "The Big Tomato" and "A Hermit Disclosed".
