William Dalrymple Spellbound by his grandmother's Anglo-Indian heritage and theexuberant annual visits of her friend the Begum, Isambard Wilkinson became enthralledby Pakistan as an intrepid teenager, eventually working there as a foreign correspondentduring the War on Terror.

His is a funny, hashish-andwhisky-scented travel book from the frontline, full of open-hearted delight anda poignant lust for life. *** Shortlisted for the 2017 Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award'Isambard Wilkinson's Travels in a Dervish Cloak is a discursive, funny, moving portrait of Pakistan, one of the most opaque and difficult and complex of countries, but here rendered in bright chiaroscuro and with obvious affection. It a brilliant debut by a major new talent.' William Dalrymple 'Conjures up the best of Thubron and Dalrymple while being informed by a distinctive voice, a deep knowledge of Pakistan's tragic history and an unusual commitment to that country based on close family links' Dervla Murphy'I roared through it. A great balance of self-deprecating wit, oldfashioned adventure and insight. Very good fun' Owen Bennett Jones, author 'Travels in a Dervish Cloak does an excellent job ... redressing the balance by revealing the complex patchwork of the real country, home to diverse multitudes. In this it shows the great value of travel writing itself, when skilfully practised by such a humane, humorous and enthusiastic author' Tim Hannigan, author.

The item is as described and works! I'm very happy with my purchase and definitly reccomend this seller as I could easily see myself buying from them again. The only qualm I have is that they sent it in a thin cardboard/paper envelope that offered no water proofing of any kind, luckily the item arrived with no damage but the cd itself was loose in the case and the case was itself loose in this cardboar paper envelope with no additional padding or protection. Could work on packing stuff better.

The item is fine but the packaging is terrible considering how far it travelled. Also they are listed as Us seller but it’s shipping for the Uk - this is why it took weeks for me to get the item. If I would have known before that it would take that long I would be as upset as I am now. When I reached out to them they did not mention it and I found out on my own. I reached out because I was concerned that it had been a week and no movement.
