reviews

The children of a village in Bengal take the cows to graze in a forest. They like going to the forest especially for its beautiful banyan tree. They climb it, swing from it, play in its shade . . . they love it. A bad tempered snake lives under the banyan tree. One day it bites a cow and the children are afraid. The snake too is unhappy until he learns the secret of life from a wandering monk. The charming, evocative drawings are adapted from the Kalighat style of painting popular in Bengal. They have strong brush lines filled in with watercolour.

Kalia, a poor cobbler, lives with his wife, Swapan, in Patna. He makes fantastic shoes with fine curling points. Tired of being poor, he seeks the help of a holy man. The holy man appoints him a ghost, Bhootram, who will earn Kalia a lot of money. But Bhootram must always be kept busy or he will eat them up! What will they do? The illustrations for this book are inspired by the world famous Mithila paintings of Bihar, popularly known as Madhubani.
