Vicereine: The Indian Journal of Mary, Countess of Minto

Anabel Loyd

4.9/5 (22868 ratings)

Description:Mary Minto was a woman of her times. Some of her opinions would make contemporary feminists, egalitarians of all sorts, gasp in horror but her extraordinary charm and passion for life, her sense of humor and sharp eye and ear for place, person and dialogue make her irresistible. The people she met, the sights she saw and wrote of from her ringside position are part of all our histories most deliciously described in her journal. Even Lord Kitchener, stiff image on a poster, comes to improbable life playing parlor games at Simla and winning, to general hilarity, a baby elephant at the Minto Fete. There is so much more—maharajas, palaces, tigers and bears, pet dogs, Afghanistan and Burma, kings, queens and princes, a vast brigade of servants... this is a vivid slideshow of a particular life in India at the beginning of a century of change illustrated with previously unseen photographs…riches indeed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
