The Romance of Darjeeling: Memories of Olden Days

Darjeeling - the Queen of Hills, is a timeless echo of nostalgia. This book is an ode to an era shrouded in the mist of time; of blooming Camellia sinensis, of unspoilt views, of the revered Kanchenjunga, of peace, solitude, pristine elegance and the leisurely eliteness of life in the lap of the Himalayas. The grace of a world that has long vanished. 

This superbly handy volume is a visual archive of vintage photographs, old studio cabinet cards and portraits, and a rare collection of ephemeral delights - illustrated, period advertisements, classifieds, posters and menu cards - complemented by crisp, anecdotal text. Spanning over 200 exquisite pages, this edition unveils the timeless charm and hidden jewels of a bygone Darjeeling.
