A group of British colonists travels through nineteenth century India in a house on wheels, drawn by a steam engine in the shape of an elephant. This book recounts their many adventures during the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. It also explores the disappearance of Nana Sahib – the Indian mutiny leader, a hero to Indians but a fiend for the British. Nana Sahib had vanished after the recapture of Kanpur by the British, and his fate thereafter was never known.  The End of Nana Sahib tries to solve this mystery.
