Book excerpt: "During the twilight years of the British Raj Trevor Braham spent much of his boyhood in India where, in the mid 1930s, he attended a boarding school in Darjeeling for four years. Dwelling within sight of the magnificent spectacle of Kangchenjunga and its satellite peaks exerted a strong influence upon him, arousing later ambitions." "Himalayan Playground is Braham's final memoir of a period of mountain exploration that will never be seen again. This is his homage to a time when mountaineers regarded these ranges as something more than mere targets to be ticked off on a list of things to do."--BOOK JACKET.
