Easy and enjoyable
"Rao's simple style of narration and structuring of sentences make reading easy and enjoyable. Uma Krishnaswamy's illustrations reflect the style of the original paintings found on the mud walls of the huts of the Bhilalas. She has imbibed the spirit of the originals combining her creative imaging to capture the essence of the tale." - The Hindu, September 1998
