Slowly Down the Ganges

£8.99

In the winter of 1963-4 the Newbys followed the Ganges from the place where it enters the Plains of India to the Sandheads, forty miles offshore in the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges is not among the longest rivers in the World but it is the most venerated river of all. Changing means of transport but always keeping close to the river, Newby encounters all sorts of characters and through them and with them India.
