THE TIGER OF THE RIVER

<p>Description</p><p>Somewhere in the Kaveri River where the water rushes through a deep gorge</p><p>lives a very special fish called Matisha one of the largest and most beautiful</p><p>freshwater fish on Planet Earth.</p><p>Matisha delights in exploring her mysterious underwater world and meets</p><p>a vast array of magnificent animals with whom she shares the river and</p><p>the surrounding jungle. She is fascinated by the many strange fish of all</p><p>shapes and sizes and the large powerful animals like tigers and elephants</p><p>which occasionally visit the river. She dodges the attention of hungry birds</p><p>crocodiles and otters who would love to gulp her down as prey. She also</p><p>learns about humans who are sometimes far more dangerous than the animals</p><p>around her.</p><p>In this dream-like story follow the wonderful adventures of Matisha as she</p><p>migrates upstream to lay her precious eggs. Illustrated beautifully by Maya</p><p>Ramaswamy with vibrant colours the invisible world that lives below the</p><p>waters of the river and in the Western Ghats comes alive through the eyes of a</p><p>fascinatingly beautiful yet critically endangered species.</p><p><br></p>
