Illustrated with rich quilts put together with Indian textiles, this
whimsical story in verse is an unusual book of travel-through a child's
imagination. Brilliant nonsense verse and exquisite textile art together plot
a blithe, philosophic journey through the surreal mixture of places, people
and times that is India.
