This book was apparently the second of what was to be a trilogy which was never completed due to his murder during a visit to Trinidad. It is a comedic novel about the attempted launching of a Hindu mission to Canada, inspired by some negative experiences experienced in meeting a Canadian Christian missionary in Trinidad. This is a near fine copy which may be unread, no writing, no reading creases but a slight turnup to upper outside corner and sadly some small coffee splashes on the page edge (see photo). Scarce.
