The original Darjeeling Ditties were written mainly for the local press in Darjeeling.
A number of visitors and residents asked Keble to collate them into a souvenir book to celebrate pleasant events and days passed with friends in the Queen of Hill Stations. Newspaper cutting were thus compiled to create this first edition.
