About the Author
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific 'Mahatma' is now used worldwide. Shailja Jain Chougule is an independent animation film designer and illustrator who lives and works in Pune, India. Educated at the National Institute of Design, she has worked for Brainvisa Technologies, Miditech, and Future Thought Productions. Nandini Nayar lives in Hyderabad, India, and writes for children. Her first picture book was Pranav's Picture (Tulika, 2005) and her first book for older children was The House of Fourteen Cats, which won the second prize in the Children's Book Trust competition in 2005. She now has eleven picture books, two novels, a collection of short stories and several non-fiction titles to her credit.
From AudioFile
Gandhi's autobiography is part of the award-winning Listen to Genius series, which is a notch above most audio biographies, intellectually speaking. Written when Gandhi was released from prison, this has been carefully abridged to retain both the Mahatma's message while conveying his personality. Davidson, who is British, sounds convincingly Indian, and his narration is both dignified and clear. There are no great waves of emotion although some sections are read with a carefully controlled anger, which suits the material. Davidson also manages to sound quite accessible, a quality relayed through Gandhi's own writing style. The production is straightforward, told without music or sound effects, which could have muddled the tone. R.O.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
