Collecting stories from experience in the hills of India makes for a good read. But, when fact and fiction are intertwined, and reality becomes a mixture of the two, the words become spellbinding.--Small Press. ""Born in Vevey, Switzerland, R.V. Vernde entered the Indian Civil Service in 1928 and was posted to Uttar Pradesh (now perhaps best known as the state encompassing the Temple at Ayodyha). In 1992, over a half-century later, Vernde published [this], a collection of stories largely based on those experiences.""--Publishers Weekly. Love, murder, rogues, humor, revenge, trial by ordeal, blood feuds, Chinese-Tibetan plans for the invasion of India are featured, as is an account of the author's meeting with Jawaharlal Nehru.
