With absolutely no exotic elements, his stories have that universal charm that speak to the collective human spirit. Simply amazing! Contemporary folktale, really. :)<br /><br />And your thoughtfully written review, a pure pleasure to re-read.

Didn;t realise it was all you-tubed away! :)<br /><br />Art : If you dont find it there, youtube seems to carry pretty much all the pages of the book.<br /><br />Sathish : Hope you find it, and its all you're looking for. :)<br /><br />KM : Enjoy. :)<br /><br />Praba : True Praba. He does appeal in a big way to the adult. But funnily, Akhil enjoyed both giving tree (exceedingly) and this one. We even did comprehension style questions on it, and in his own simplistic level, he 'got' and enjoyed the book. I don't know if kids our age, will linger on any of these things, btu they like it for what it is when it is being read.<br /><br />Ranjani : Thanks. :)<br /><br />Poppins : Oh! I thought it'd be the first one available, since it was the book before the Big-O!

I honestly thin...Hmm. Thought provoking review, T.<br /><br />I honestly think his books are for grown-ups more than children. Deceptively simple on the surface. Scratch deeper, the subtle undercurrents one can certainly take to heart and keep pondering over. His style is unique in that sense. Wonder if his books leave kids feeling that way. <br /><br />Will check this one out, mainly for DH and me! :)Praba Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-24945043475325778712010-02-07T15:52:23.081-08:002010-02-07T15:52:23.081-08:00loved every word of your review, Tharini. we'l...loved every word of your review, Tharini. we'll check this out for sure.
