In 1895, Mark Twain set out on a year-long around-the-world lecture tour, in the course of which he gathered material for one of his most successful books, Following the Equator. Ian David Patrick Macpherson, 3rd Baron Strathcarron — who followed the great humorist's journey through the Middle East in Innocence and War — recounts Twain's passage through India and offers his own intriguing observations of the same sites a century later.
