Fanny Parkes lived in India between 1822 and 1846 and was the ideal travel writer - courageous, indefatigably curious and determinedly independent.

To read her is to get as close as one can to a true picture of early colonial India - the sacred and the profane, the violent and the beautiful, the straight-laced sahibs and the 'White Mughals’ who fell in love with India, married Indian wives and built bridges between the two cultures.
