J.H. Prendergast – The Road To India – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1977
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of The Road To India by J H Prendergast, published by John Murray, London in 1977. A near fine copy, with fading and creasing to the spine, fading to the soft boards, light bumping to upper edge of front board, crease to upper corner of rear board and similarly to corners of preceding pages, toning to the text block. With associated John Murray compliment slip.
John H Prendergast’s The Road to India is a richly detailed overland travel guide chronicling his adventurous 8,000 mile drive from Britain to India via Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Tailored for camper van travellers, it blends practical advice—border tips, road conditions—with personal anecdotes about nomadic tribes and frontier life. Though geopolitical shifts have since altered its routes, it remains a nostalgic testament to a bygone era of overland exploration.
