![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a folio edition of the classic travel book. With great care and love, Mr Dalrymple takes out a handsome hardbound of Chatwin’s In Patagonia from a shelf. Many of Mr Dalrymple’s other books - chiefly on Scotland and Middle-East - are at his second home in Chiswick, London.Īmong writers, our foreign-born Delhi chronicler is especially fond of the late Bruce Chatwin, who was also a “dear friend”. Even the swimming pool shed has its share of bookshelves, and the toilet is so highbrow that it has The New York Review of Books lying by the bathtub. One afternoon, we enter the library of Scotland-born William Dalrymple, author of the famous City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi. His works on the history of India are globally acclaimed.(Mayank Austen Soofi/HT Photo) Author William Dalrymple first came to India on January 26, 1984. He also rules over a large population of goats, including Petunia, given to him by environmentalist Pradip Krishen. His empire at Mira Singh Farm, on the outskirts of Delhi, teems with Polish chickens and Scottish bantams. ![]()
