On a Shoestring to Coorg: An Experience of Southern IndiaPaperback, 8 October 2014

Travelling for the first time with her five-year-old daughter Rachel, Dervla Murphy, with little money, no taste for luxury and few concrete plans, meanders south from Bombay to the tip of India before doubling back to the place they liked most - the hill province of Coorg. Anchored by her daughter's delight in the company of her Indian neighbors, Dervla creates an extraordinarily affectionate portrait of these cardamon-scented, spiritually and agriculturally self-sufficient Highlands.
