About this book

Sixteen years of medical mission work at Bannu give T. L. Pennell the material for this account of life along the Afghan frontier. Hospital wards, village customs, religious discussions and school activities share space with his experiences among Afghans and Pathans. Pennell writes as a Christian missionary, and his descriptions show how closely he connects medical care with the spread of his faith.

A school football team provides one of the book's more unexpected subjects. The boys travel through India to play matches, including a closely contested game in Karachi. In Calcutta, rumours and political unrest lead to an attack that interrupts their tour. Alongside these episodes, the contents cover local remedies, hospitality and the work of travelling doctors.
