Out Of India

During the filming of the series ‘The Jewel in the Crown’ Tim Pigott-Smith found himself increasingly captivated by all things Indian. This attraction inspired his diary and an ever-growing collection of writings from various sources. Included with the diary, these writings range from the Vedas to Kipling, Paul Scott and E.M. Forster. The work of several more modern Indian poets also forms an important part of the collection.
