[edit] GREAT HEDGE OF INDIA
This is the story of the quest for a legendary hedge planted across the Indian sub-continent. Although one of the largest man-made constructions in history, it appears in no history books. Roy Moxham was inspired to travel to India to discover whether it really existed and if any of it remained.
The memoirs referred in passing to a mighty hedge spanning the Indian subcontinent. Writer Jan Morris explains her feelings on reading the script, 'At first I thought this remarkable book must be a hoax, but it isn't. It tells the story of one of the least-known wonders of Queen Victoria's India - a customs barrier 2,300 miles long, most it of it made of hedge. It was manned by 12,000 men and would have stretched from London to Constantinople, yet few historians mention it and most of us have never heard of it. Could anything be more astonishing?' Roy Moxham has been a tea planter, gallery owner and is now a paper conservator. He has always maintained a deep interest in India and this is his first book.
