a garden of sunshine and a scardey cat

just finished reading haroun and the sea of stories by salman rushdie and i loved it! something about kiddie stories that makes you smile. had heard quiet a bit about the book and frankly expected something else like talking rabbits or something but loved the book nevertheless....
and in a similar impulse buy i also managed to get a illustrated version of the wizard of oz which has the cutest drawing of the timid lion on the cover. also have a slim book called a garden of verse by robert louis stevenson which has some of the most lovable poems. harshvanshraj bachchan...amitabh's dad... also writes or has written some stuff for children..heard it once somewhre and loved it. havent had too much sucess sourcing it on the net though.....
