NEWS FROM TARTARY: A JOURNEY FROM PEKING TO KASHMIR

By Peter Fleming

Synopsis

For most travellers, and all merchants, the road from China to India lies as it has lain for centuries, along the ancient Silk Road which is the most romantic and the most important trade route in the history of the world. In 1935 Peter Fleming set out to travel that route, from Peking to Kashmir. It was a journey which swept him and his companion 3500 miles across the roof of the world. It took them seven months to complete the journey.
