About the Book:

The Mussoorie Man by Ganesh Saili is a beautifully researched tribute to the Raj summers in Mussoorie, a charming hill station in India, and its deep cultural ties. This book skillfully weaves together the stories of Mussoorie’s colonial past, amateur dramatics by the Mussoorie Theatre Group, and the lives of people who called this hill town their summer retreat.

With long years of research, Saili paints a vivid picture of Mussoorie during its colonial days, showcasing not just the grandeur of the Raj but also the quiet, cultural exchanges that took place. The book also brings to light the significance of the Mussoorie Theatre Group, adding an artistic touch to the otherwise historical narrative.

Longlisted for the Vodafone Crossword Book Award 2010, The Mussoorie Man is not just a recount of history; it’s a rich narrative that captures the essence of Mussoorie’s heritage, the joys of the hill station, and the stories of those who helped shape it. Perfect for lovers of history, culture, and the arts, this book transports readers to a picturesque era, revealing a town of immense charm and untold stories.
