About The Book: The Old Cantonment: With Other Stories of India and Elsewhere by B. M. Croker is a compelling collection of short stories set primarily in colonial India. These tales vividly capture the lives, social tensions, and personal dramas of British and Anglo-Indian characters. With sharp insight into class, gender roles, and cultural encounters, Croker blends humor, mystery, and romance. Her rich storytelling style and atmospheric detail paint an evocative portrait of British imperial society and its human complexities during the Raj.
