Ranji the Music Maker

<p><b>'Was this what it was like to be a rock star? Except that pop singers were usually followed by people not cats.'</b></p><p>In the middle of his languid holiday idle young Ranji stumbles upon assorted musical instruments in the storeroom-first a shrill flute then a blaring little trumpet and finally a too-big drum that may have once sounded a battle march. He stages impromptu concerts down the road not sparing his neighbours nor the cats around his porch nor the peace-loving inhabitants of the zoo! But all Ranji's really seeking is a friend who'll hear the magic in his din.</p><p>A lyrical and stunningly illustrated offering from India's favourite teller of tales this is a sunny story about forging bonds and the simple joys of life.</p>
