A deeply moving, personal account of life
around a stately Arjuna tree in a village in Bangladesh. Written and
illustrated by painter Paritosh Sen, this delightful book is based on
Sen’s reminiscences of childhood in his native village.
Sen
observes and records in minute detail, and with great empathy, the
variety of bird and animal life and activity in and around the Arjuna
tree. He watches the hardworking ants haul a dead beetle to their lair
and witnesses a battle royal between the birds and two intruding
langurs. There is even a ghst in the story! Through all these
observations, Sen reveals the remarkable chain of life, the
interdependence of all living things. A Tree in my Village is an
invaluable lesson in ecology.
