About this Item
Description:
(price-clipped) [slight bump to bottom front corner, no other significant wear to book; the jacket has a couple of tiny edge-nicks, and a faint faded area at top of front panel]. (pen and ink drawings) Novel set in a small town in South India during World War II, "a gentle, almost teasing fable, plain-spoken and humorous. Descriptions of daily concerns are compassionate and evocative. The raw texture of Indian life is woven into the tale of two friends whose own lives have the simplicity of joy and the unaffected universality of Shakespeare, whom India has wisely made her own." (The cat, by the way, is a "magical cat."). Seller Inventory # 26007
