Description:	Select Guide Rating Describes a Maharajah's eccentric habits and riddling conversations, and the odd shambling day-to-day life of his court. A highly entertaining and moving journal chronicling J. R. Ackerley''s time in India In the 1920s, the young J. R. Ackerley spent several months in India as the Private Secretary to the Maharajah of Chhokrapur. Knowing almost nothing of India, he discovers Hindu culture, festivals and language, and reveals the fascinating attitudes of the Palace staff on women, marriage. the caste system and death. At the heart of Hindoo Holiday is the wonderfully unpredictable figure of his Highness the Maharajah Sahib who, ultimately, just wants ''someone to love him''.
