Murree A Glimpse Through the Forest
Author: Virgil Miedema
Publisher: Amur Maple Books, 2002
Binding: Hardcover, 210 pages

One wishes many more such books existed, covering all the hillstations in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Full of excellent photographs by Craddock, Burke, Thomas Winter, as well as color engravings and postcards of the biggest of the Raj hillstations in Pakistan, the entire work is tasteful and informative.

It also has nice histories of institutions like the Convent of Jesus & Mary, St. Deny's School and Lawrence College.

Full of anecdotes, quotes and stories from residents, and hillstation paraphernalia.

This highly recommended book for fans of Murree sold-out years ago and is over $500 on Amazon! Copies can still be had from Hugh Rayner, and the author himself (v miedema @ gmail. com).
