ANDAMANS
BOY
by
Zai Whitaker art
Ashok Rajagopalan
Tired
of life in Mumbai with his Chacha and Chachi, Arif runs away – far,
far away. He hops onto a train going to Chennai. From there he
smuggles himself onto a boat going to . . . the Andaman islands! Rich
with adventure and humour, full of the wonders of nature, the book is
also filled with details about the unique, misunderstood world of the
Jarawa, a tribe in the Andamans whose very survival is being
threatened, especially by the forces of so-called development. Nature
drawings by Indraneil Das are beautifully offset by soft pencil
sketches of the adventure by Ashok Rajagopalan.
