Aristocratic playboy-turned-adventurer and writer, Mark Shand, buys an elephant and she carries him across Central India in the 1980s. And over three decades, from the 1990s to 2020, ace foodie, writer of detective novels and one of the funniest Europeansgone-native in India, Zac O’Yeah, has many reckless subcontinental adventures with his tummy.

A more entertaining and crammed-with-surprises set of travel books about India would be impossible to find.
