Annotation

An odd book that is often cataloged as an ethnography, but it presented as an account of an obviously fictional trip into an earthly paradise in the mountains of India. Lost race eutopia used as an excuse to teach Theosophy. 

Info Notes

It has been said that it was originally published in 1922, but I can find no evidence that it was.
