      About This Book

      By boat, rail, bus and bullock cart, Eric Newby takes us down the Ganges, India's holy river, with artful descriptions and thoughtful meanderings. He chronicles his 1200-mile journey with his wife, stopping along the way on sandbanks, in villages and towns.The spirit is lively as they meet an inviting mix of characters. The spirit is tranquil as the dusty simplicity of India quiets and mystifies their souls. Throughout the pages, the Mother Ganges runs through, a sacred presence.Delightful...a do-it-yourself pleasure trip. (Times Literary Supplement)
