The Veena Player

Tulika publications "The Veena Player" written by Anjali Raghbeer, illustration by Soumya menon. Enjoyed reading the book. Good story to share it with your little one, will introduce a nice story and some of Ravi verma's paintings to young readers.

Synopsis given by tulika books about the book:

A damaged painting is like a body without a soul, Aunty Prima tells Valsa, when they set about restoring an old painting by Ravi Varma. As they remove the layers of dust, Valsa hears a delicate cough. Does it come from the painting?
      
 The Veena Player is about a charming friendship between young Valsa and the veena player, which weaves in nuances of Ravi Varma's art style, and pays tribute to his skill in painting lifelike portraits.

Nice read!.
