A timeless story of love and friendship set in India.
Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned, and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part of Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging from the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted - and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.
Written when the author was himself seventeen, this timeless story of love and friendship will resonate with a whole new generation of readers.
