About This Item
Flamingo -- HarperCollins Imprint, London, 1994. First Edition. Softcover. Good Condition. this is William Dalrymple's captivating memoir of a year spent in Delhi, a city watched over and protected by the mischievous invisible djinns. Lodging with the beady-eyed Mrs Puri and encountering an extraordinary array of characters - from elusive eunuchs to the last remnants of the Raj - William Dalrymple comes to know the bewildering city intimately. He pursues Delhi's interlacing layers of history along narrow alleys and broad boulevards, brilliantly conveying its intoxicating mix of mysticism and mayhem. the front cover of the paperback binding has been crumpled at the upper portion. Slight rubbing of the edge of the spine, a good sound copy still. First softcover edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 352 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Travel & Places; India; Genealogy & Local History. ISBN: 0006375952. ISBN/EAN: 9780006375951. Inventory No: 0252898. . 9780006375951
