Why read it?
1 author picked That Summer in Kalagarh as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ranjit Lal’s writing is always quirky, fun-loving but contains a touch of mystery. In That Summer in Kalagarh, all these qualities are visible.
The main character is always teased as ‘elephant’ by her cousins. Ironically, on a holiday in the jungles of Uttarakhand in north India they encounter many real and not so real elephants!
What is the legend of the dead elephant, also called Gitanjali? Why does Gitanjali hear sounds nobody else can, deep inside the jungle?
A spine-tingling adventure, laced with dollops of keen observations and descriptions.
From Vikas' list on YA from India with a great slice of Indian culture.
