Beg, borrow or steal this from someone and read it. Truly a beautiful tale, told in Seth's unique verse.
Cute story with an important message
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am a big Vikram Seth fan and this was a cute children's book. The drawings are simple, yet effective. The story is close to a classic Grimm tale, an animal that helps a human, but ends up getting killed by humans keeping it in captivity. Maybe not suited for very young children, but a very well written story. A story that you can discuss afterwards on themes portrayed, asking questions like what would you have done?
