The Water Horse

The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Some books make deep impressions. This one will not leave me......

It is all about beauty.......

The Witch of Portobello

Fanny Trollope

Gift from the Sea

A package was waiting for me when I came home from India. A camelia seed and a book from a dear friend. The book is one I had heard mentioned my several friends, but never read myself.

The book, written more than 50 years ago, spoke direktly to my heart. I know this book will not be tucked away in some hidden shelf, it will have its place on my desk where I can open it and read a few lines, or a few pages at any time.

A Traveller's History of India

With my trip to India coming up in only one week, I have filled a shelf with books about and from India, and spend hours every day reading. Today I finished A Traveller's History of India by Sinharaja Tammita-Delgoda. A book written with deep insight in the subcontinent's history, still easy enough for an outsider to understand and to learn. I can travel better prepared now.

India in Mind

Finished India in Mind, edited and with an introduction by Pankaj Mishra
