The Britannias: An Archipelago's Tale

Praise For Empires of the Indus "A magnificent book, a triumphant melding of travel and history into a compelling story of adventure and discovery." -- Financial Times "Impressive and original.... In the course of her journey, Albinia encounters all kinds of danger, and at times her courage tips her into foolhardiness.... This, however, is the behaviour we expect of the best kind of travel writer." -- Daily Telegraph "Spellbinding.... An impressive achievement." -- New Statesman
