P. Shungoonny Menon's "A History of Travancore from the Earliest Times" stands as a foundational text, offering a comprehensive historical account of the former princely state, now part of Kerala, from prehistoric times to the 19th century, detailing its political, social, cultural, and economic evolution through a wide array of historical sources and geographical descriptions; while invaluable for researchers seeking insights into South Indian history, readers should be mindful of its 1878 publication date, which reflects the period's biases, and the varying quality of its numerous reprints.
