Book Description
In the annals of world history there are few more striking tales than those of Princely India. The Maharajas became bywords for excess, for lifetimes spent in extravagant expenditure and splendour on an almost unparalleled scale. The Princes, their palaces and feudal loyalties live on, and the full gorgeous spectacle of their life-style is captured for perhaps the last time in the pages of this book. This is very much a visual story, full of dazzling colours: a story of throne rooms with gilded and painted ceilings, crystal fountains and peacocks in terraced gardens, gold and silver treasures, of weddings, celebrations and festivals, and of the Maharajas themselves and their families, in public and in private.

Book Description
I was fortunate to have spent my childhood in pre-1947 India, immersed in a leisurely and privileged culture at a time when people did not rely on television and radio for entertainment but enjoyed the company of friends and family for conversation and social interaction. We had a large extended family, going back many generations in India and, as was the custom, we entertained frequently and often had family and friends as house guests to stay. There was much re-telling of old and loved family tales, and new stories were welcome additions to the existing story pool. Gossip, chatter, current affairs debates, ghost stories, songs and parlourgames were our means of passing the time in an enjoyable way. This book is written in affectionate memory of the Raj of my childhood, which was the only real "homeland" my family had ever known, and of the Indian people who were our work colleagues, neighbours, friends and in some cases relatives.
