Publisher's Synopsis
""Dew and Mildew: Semi-Detached Stories from Karabad, India"" is a collection of short stories written by Percival Christopher Wren and published in 1912. The book is set in the fictional town of Karabad, India, and explores the lives of the British expatriates who live there. The stories are semi-detached, meaning they can be read independently, but also have connections to each other. The book covers a range of themes, including love, betrayal, and the clash of cultures. The title refers to the two main characters in the stories, Dew and Mildew, who are British expatriates living in Karabad. The book provides a glimpse into the lives of the British in India during the early 20th century and is considered a classic of colonial literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
