Summarylife with grandfather
Answers
Answer:
Life with Grandfather' was written by Shankar Pillai, well known cartoonist and founder of the Children's Book Trust. His illustrations are as evocative and heartwarming as the stories of a child growing up in a rural setting in (what seems to be) the early part of the 20th century. Raja, the hero, is an orphan, but he has a loving family in his grandparents, uncle, pet squirrel, the crocodile in the pond and the temple elephant, among others. His adventures make exciting reading, while the values he learns from his grandfather (a stern disciplinarian outwardly, but an open-minded humanist at heart) are very relevant even today. A must-read for every Indian child and all those interested in India. I don't really know if the appeal of the book is culture-specific -- it would be interesting to hear of the impressions of non-Indians. (
