HINDOO HOLIDAY An Indian Journal by J.R. Ackerley

A classic account of travelling India in the 1920s.

This is a used travel book in fair condition: pages are browning with age; some age spots on end pages; cover looks worn and aged; a bit worn and aged but a solid reading copy. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: In the 1920s, the young J. R. Ackerley spent several months in India as the personal secretary to the maharajah of a small Indian principality. In his journals, Ackerley recorded the Maharajah's fantastically eccentric habits and riddling conversations, and the odd shambling day-to-day life of his court. "Hindoo Holiday" is an intimate and very funny account of an exceedingly strange place, and one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century travel literature.
