✦ Synopsis

Twelve stories are told to help children think of what
is familiar through a new perspective, midway between
jocularity and possible serious political or social
enquiry. Two stories deal with Indian pre-history; a
whimsical play with political-economic reasons for
building the Taj Mahal; while a Tamil spiritual legend
about an untouchable is re-discovered by British
children. There is also a modem allegorical tale on
development, and a humorous play on conservation.
One could be a faithful account of an incident in the
I life of a newspaper boy in Hyderabad; and another
about real-life options girls face in life, whether very
rich or very poor.
