The essays and stories then offer the fascinating illustrated story of Princess Victoria Gowramma, the lost princess of Coorg. With several lucky turn of events after his book on Victoria Gowramma, Belliappa was able to connect with her descendants; meet a great-great-great grandson of Queen Victoria; interact with the direct descendants of the last raja of Coorg and collaborate with a great-great-granddaughter of Lt Col John Campbell (Victoria Gowramma’s husband). Merging public with the private, Coorg Stories and Essays covers the freedom movement in Coorg and the significant role played by the author’s father C.M.
