Product Description
First edition.
Line drawings by Ellen Haskin.
Following WW2 and independence, India's royalty experienced life-altering changes, including being stripped of power, titles and position in efforts to develop a more egalitarian society.
The author, Hahn, lived in China for a number of years prior to WW2, wrote books about her experiences, and developed many contacts in Asia.
In the 1950s she traveled to India where she attended a glittering party of Indian maharajas and assorted oddball guests -- that included a tiger hunt.
She also attends an auction of some of the "surplus" goods of the Maharaja of Kashmir.
Hardcover, with original jacket (not price clipped).
Front cover illustrated with attractive image of a tiger under a tree.
Sketch illustrations.
165 pages.
Near fine condition, jacket in a protective removable mylar dust jacket cover.
