Travel and ethnology in the Renaissance
I picked this up from the British Library years ago and couldn't put it down! It's a wonderful travelogue of India - north and south. Humourous and funny descriptions of places and people, and some vivid incidents leave images etched in the reader's mind. I have never found this book again and would so love to! It was my introduction to the great literature of travel.
