What a wonderful novella this is! Full of descriptions of #Kerala's natural world. It is somewhat edifying, possibly even condescending (it was written in 1951 and things have moved on since then), but counterbalanced by humour and the type of characters we love to hate.
Originally translated from Malayalam for UNESCO's collection of representative literary works
