To Market, to Market

A much-loved Tara classic children's title is released in paperback for the first time. A little girl goes to market with a pocketful of change and no idea what to buy just 'something funny, nice or even strange'. But among the rich and colorful wonders of the market, she finds that the real fun is not in the buying after all! Anushka Ravishankar's playful nonsense verse and Emanuele Scanziani's vibrant paintings bring to life this bold and busy tribute to the vitality of everyday India.

Auteur

Anushka Ravishankar: Dubbed 'India's Dr. Seuss', children everywhere are enchanted by the nonsensical and fantastical world Anushka creates. Tremendously talented, she is credited as the first writer to adapt the difficult nonsense verse form to the cadences of Indian English. She has won national and international acclaim for her jubilant verse-tales, and is now based in Delhi. Emanuele Scanziani, originally from Italy, is an artist and freelance illustrator who lives and works in Auroville, an international commune in South India. His paintings for "To Market! To Market!" arose from his love for the color and atmosphere of the local market in Pondicherry.
