5: The Story of Alexander Gardiner
Narrator John Rowe with Fred Bryant Godfrey Kenton and Philip Sully
The most eccentric resident of Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir, in the 1860s was a retired army officer, Colonel Alexander Gardiner. Eighty, or thereabouts, six feet tall, and dressed habitually in a suit of tartan plaid, he lived in oriental splendour and to anyone prepared to listen he would tell his extraordinary story - of his years rob. bing and murdering in the lawless tracts of Uzbekistan, of his tragic marriage to an Afghan princess, of his wanderings among the lofty peaks of the Himalayas. Was his story true, or was it. as more than one investigator came to believe, a colossal hoax?
