It was quite by accident that I got this book in my hands.
The highlight of the collection, of course, are the four biographical essays written by sir. Between them, they are the Guide To A Well-lived Life. These essays have been shared with other parents as well, and with the children one knows. Each essay teaches through sharing life experiences without being preachy. For me, it was also the realisation that various elements of a person’s life come together to form the tapestry of their personality. Every step is important, every association precious.
The children’s stories are as varied as the authors. From outer space to ghosts, the collection features everything. 1:99 is a shocking sci-fi story from the future – shocking because it is not entirely impossible, and warns us of a small mistake with big repercussions.
The Moon is made of Cheese is a very heartwarming story.
The Birthday Wish made me cry.
Most of these stories, definitely, are proof of solid talent.
I enjoyed this book very much!
