To the Elephant Graveyard Bewertungen
'This remarkable book is more than just a ripping yarn: it is also a beautifully observed, richly textured portrait of a little visited corner of India...A wonderful book that should become a classic' -- Daily Mail 'A masterful piece of writing, full of suspense and crisis of plot...Above all, Hall is to be congratulated on writing a book that promises humour and adventure, and delivers both' -- Spectator
