Book Description
STRANGE ADVENTURES: In this children’s book Dr Asim K Dasgupta takes young readers on a series of short stories from around the world, mainly animal and ghost stories. In each story, the characters venture from more familiar places and situations into world of unexpected wonder, sometimes amusing, sometimes sad, sometimes eerie, but always a challenge to our imagination. Would you like to chat with a green turtle on a beach of black sand, or be invited to a Jackal’s wedding? In Dr Dasgupta’s world it might happen. When night comes, you better beware! Perhaps you are a doctor on night duty and there’s a power cut. It might be just a nuisance, but what if the lift goes on working even when the power has gone? And who is the mysterious lady who is beckoning to you so urgently? Or what if you’re a boarding -school boy and you need to take a river ferry to get to your home village? You may have done the trip a hundred times, but is it really safe to embark in a thunderstorm? And where is the usual ferryman, and why does the new one not utter a word? Or again, have you ever wondered if there is any truth in dreams? Can a dead loved one reach out to you in a dream that seems more real than the everyday world? What happens if you keep a squirrel as a pet? Sometimes, the wonderful thing may be just outside, in your back garden. You just never know what may happen, or when. But there is one thing that will surely happen to all of us, if we get what most people want: a long life. Dr Dasgupta’s story ‘Last quarter’ is a sensitive and compassionate exploration of old age: not only its sorrows, but also the comfort to be drawn from human companionship.
