Product Description

Review

""Hankin pays generous tribute to his forebears.... But in all innocence, Hankin may have dealt his bedside companion (Hobson-Jobson) "a mortal blow. "Hanklyn Janklin has all its precursor's qualities but it is more up to date (in definition, and often in spelling) subtler and more explicit."


Independent on Sunday July 2003 London

Mr Hankin has gone about collecting words for his glossary
with the same inspired eccentricity as Hobson-Jobson's
orginal authors..

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Chhappy, 29 Sep 2009
By C. Ross (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Be still my heart - this is even better than Hobson - but together they form the perfect basis for navigating India - then and now. I LOVE Hanklyn. More than Hobson - more than I can even express in plain language. I am writing a novel set in Bombay and this is the answer to the necessary dialogue and mindsets of my characters. Nigel Hanklyn should live forever in the heart of Indiaphiles everywhere. He has a place in mine.
