A unique biography that explores and celebrates the life of one of India’s greatest calligraphers.
‘Every artist starts with shaky lines. With practice, these lines can turn into a masterpiece.’
Right from childhood, Prem loved to watch his dadaji’s pen glide across the page like a dancer on stage. It was as if his pen were a magic wand, breathing life into letters and making them bloom like fresh flowers.
Prem dreamed of mastering this magic and becoming a calligrapher, just like Dadaji. But when he tried, his
letters turned out wobbly, squiggly, and looked more like caterpillars.
Can Prem learn the language of letters and transform his uncertain lines into a masterpiece?

The Whispering Mountains: Marvellous Folktales from the Himalayas is a collection of folktales handed down through generations—tales shared by grandparents sitting by the fire on cold nights, tales carried by the whispering winds, and echoing through the rivers and peaks of the Himalayas.
In these tales, trees and flowers, animals and birds coexist with humans, one story ending as another one begins. The wicked and the good are not as they seem, and magic is always close at hand. Clever women outwit thieves, while fools reveal unexpected wisdom. The stories hold the teachings of nature and the playful mischief of tricksters, the marvel of creation myths, and the shimmering magic of shapeshifters. Across these regions lie the enduring secrets and strengths of the mountains, with doors that lead to hidden realms and windows which open to wonder.

Words that sound distant from her reality, until one night changes everything. Roop finds herself at a riverbank, one that she must cross to find her home—her new home.
Award-winning author Samina Mishra tells a poignant tale of a dark chapter in history. Through Roop’s journey, she weaves a story of connections, resilience and finding an anchor in turbulent times.
