Publisher Description
An uncanny tale from the Raj.
When Jack Pansay’s affair with Mrs. Keith-Wessington comes to an unseemly end, he believes the matter to be over. But Mrs. Wessington’s obsession with him continues year after year, as she stalks him in her rickshaw around the walks of Simla. When Pansay announces his engagement to Kitty Mannering, the trauma is too much for Mrs. Wessington and she dies shortly afterwards. But this is only the beginning of Pansay’s torment. From now on, the ghost of Mrs. Wessington appears in her rickshaw wherever he goes in her eternal quest to win him back.

"My 2nd favorite book after Kim. Absolute must-read if you've traveled to or wanted to have traveled to India. Includes "The Man Who Would Be King," and yes, the short story is 87 times better than the movie. "

The Phantom Rickshaw Listener Reviews
-
" Just a bit of nothing compared to the amazing Kim, but a pleasant enough handful of stories. Sadly, nothing really captivating though. The title story is probably the best of the bunch, so if it doesn't grab you, probably best to spend your time reading something better. "
