' The Hill of Devi will remain a classic account of a vanished side of India that has never before been so graphically painted'- Raymond Mortimer in the Sunday Times
An account of two visits E. M. Forster made to the state of Dewas Senior over forty years ago, The Hill of Devi conveys the excitement, amusement, and curiosity they aroused in the author. Consisting largely of letters written home, the book portrays as vivid and immediate impres- sions many of the details which later recur in his most famous novel, A Passage to India
The central figure is the Maharajah himself - witty, complex, and sensitive ... "certainly a genius, and possibly a saint, and he had to be king.' As his secretary, Forster was privileged to ride elephants, to receive an 'Official Insult', and to attend the strange eight-day festival of Gokul Ashtami. All this he puts down with delightful freshness and humour.
