Bengal Lancer

<p>222pp.  In black cloth-covered boards with silver titles on spine.  A couple on minor indentations on board edges; some mild page toning, else neat, clean and tight throughout.  In its original matte, illustrated dust jacket, a little rubbed on corners and spine tips, dusty top edge.</p> <p>One of the most famous books written about India and partition and the British Ray, Yeats Brown tells of the life of a British Army Officer and Bengal Lancers, but the book is about more than that.  It is an unparallelled picture of two Indias, one now gone forever but the other, the India of mysticism and the discipline of purification is more enduring.</p>
