“Ruby’s letters, written to her family in Australia, describe with wit and gaiety everything she saw and did during her ten-month stay in Bombay, Delhi and Simla.  They capture not only the dazzling splendour of the Durbar but also the happy carefree life she led with its endless round of outings, parties, polo matches and concerts, recreating at least in part, this exotic and fascinating period of history which has now vanished completely.”
