An
enchanting modern fairytale involving an unlikely
foursome. A monkey sets out to explore the
world, joined by a curious ant and an elephant trying hard to

ADITI
AND THE TECHNO SAGE
by
Suniti
Namjoshi
art
Shefalee Jain
Stony
Lake, Canada, with laughing loons, sullen
sunfish and dangerous deadheads — this is
where Aditi and friends are off to this time.
Their mission is a message for the Techno Sage.
The Sage, however, has covered her island with a
shield through which not even emails can
penetrate.
Dragons, a scientist
sage, time-stretching jewels and a princess with
an unusual assortment of friends, all come
together in this techno-generation fantasy tale.
But beneath the hi-tech trappings lie everyday
issues of friendship and courage, dealt with in
the author's inimitable style with sensitivity,
sophistication and humour.
