This story is set in a backward district of India where witchcraft thrives. The efforts of the political agent and the education officer, aided by a phoney occidential "swami", to secure true justice for a village headman on a charge of murder is the basis for this book.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
