ABOUT MY BOOK

This novel attempt, under the aegis of UNESCO, In this book plays for children are not many and rare still are stage able ones. This is a unique collection of children’s plays, one each from Australia, Burma, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, North Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Detailed instruction for costumes and stage setting has been given for each play. Here is a chance for schools and drama clubs to present plays from various countries of our continent. And the choice of so many plays comes for just as little as forty rupees. The illustrations accompanying each play would surely evoke children’s imagination and that may well be the beginning of exciting rehearsals and lovely acting.

At developing books for Asian children by Asian authors. To have children in the twenty odd countries of the continent we inhabit, it’s a great new beginning. The many worlds from Tehran to Tokyo intermingle to give colour to words that children across the continent, if not the world, would love to read these books are steps for bridging minds and creating a common heritage for this vast continent. This is the very best of Asia today .Thank you.
