Dervla Murphy explores the exotic province of Coorg in Southern India with her young daughter.

With her five-year-old daughter as travelling companion, Dervla Murphy, veteran of solo journeys by mule and bicycle to some of the most inaccessible places on earth, sets off for Bombay, with plans to meander through southern India. Dervla and Rachel travelled by boat and by peasant-filled bus, making myriad friends along the way. They fell in love with Coorg, the smallest of India's provinces, and stayed there for two months. Dervla Murphy's account of this remote mountain paradise, famed for its landscapes, scented with honey, cardamon and oranges, is evocative, fresh and entertaining.

Dervla Murphy is one of the very best loved of travel writers. She was born in County Waterford and since 1964 has been regularly publishing accounts of her journeys - by bicycle and on foot -- in the remoter areas of four continents. She has also written about the problems of Northern Ireland, the hazards of nuclear power, and race relations in Britain. The Times Literary Supplement called her 'an admirable woman -- she has a romantic soul and a keen eye'.
