Simple Adventures of a Memsahib

A young Englishwoman marries a civil servant, sails to Calcutta and is turned by degrees into an Anglo-Indian memsahib, losing something in each chapter. Duncan lived that life herself and wrote the most exact account of it anyone has left. This edition binds 36 plates after William Simpson, Marianne North and Thomas Gainsborough, with 24 restored and coloured in-text illustrations.
