reviews

This book contains two original stories, Bangles for Bansode and Ordinary Mr Pai. These quaint, quirky fairytales tug at the heartstrings even as they make you laugh. They carry the reader off on a fantastic journey where anything can happen!
          Bangles for Bansode is about a mean, miserly landlord called Bansode who rules the lives of 553 tenants of an old, tumbledown block of flats called Africa House. It takes a young girl, confined to a wheelchair, to teach Bansode a lesson that keeps him and his tenants smiling!
          Ordinary Mr Pai is the story of a man called Pai who lives with his parrot in a Mumbai suburb. One morning he meets the most extraordinary talking crow. And Mr Pai’s what-should-have-been-a-very-ordinary-day goes for a mighty six.
