London: Macmillan, 1994. First edition, 1994. Hardback. xiv, 361pp. Black cloth boards with silver lettering to spine. Maps printed to endpapers. Dust jacket. Penelope Betjeman, wife of the Poet Laureate, had a lifelong passion for India. She first arrived there in 1928, as the daughter of the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, and continued to visit the country throughout her life. In 1985 she took her granddaughter on one of her legendary expeditions and six years after Penelope Betjeman's death, Iomogen Lycett Green returned to India to retrace the steps of that unforgettable trip. As well as a moving memoir that captures Penelope Betjeman's infectious enthusiasm for India, Imogen Lycett Green has written a vivid and engaging travel book that weaves history, tradition and reminiscence with the liveliness of modern India. Some b&w photographs. Book in near fine condition with just a little light soiling to upper edge of text block. very clean internally and with an unread feel. Dust jacket very good. Unclipped. A little light edge wear and some fade to spine.
