Author Description

A legacy of the British Raj in India is the literature produced by it. This definitive anthology of short stories brings together writers such as Kipling, Orwell, Woolf and several lesser known writers. The mix of ironic, entertaining, and even spooky stories provide a colourful portrait of colonial India as well as evocative impressions of the interaction between the British rulers and their Indian subjects. With more than twenty stories included, the book contains an Introduction by the Editor, biographical notes and a glossary.
