Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition of this wonderful book, closely based on the BBC Television series. This perceptive account of the author's search for perfect period locations for a film led him to India. He discovered a perfect landscape free from jarring traces of the post war world, and motor cars which did not look like expensively hired costly period pieces out of a museum. A superb and fascinating record of a time and place that has long gone. Seller Inventory # ABE-1584452235908
