In this delightful sequel to Aditi and the One-Eyed Monkey, the postal parrot brings a cryptic letter for 'Aditi and Friends' -- an urgent call for help from London! There's an urgent call for help from London, and Aditi and her friends--the One-eyed monkey, Elephant and Ant--fly off on the back of their new friend, the Dragon. There they discover that the River Thames is being slowly poisoned... and the River Dragon who lives in it is dying. Something has to be done quickly. And what they do lands them on primetime television news! How do you explain things to those who won't listen? Are "real" dragons different than "unreal" ones? Suniti Namjoshi weaves fantasy, philosophy and feeling deftly into a story that will keep readers enthralled.

The Fabulous Feminist brings together for the first time in one volume a vast range of renowned feminist thinker Suniti Namjoshi’s writings, starting with her most famous collection, Feminist Fables, and including excerpts from Saint Suniti and the Dragon, Mothers of Maya Dip, From the Bedside Book of Nightmares, and her series of “Aditi” books for children, such as Aditi and the Thames Dragon. Here readers will find her fables, poetry, prose autobiography, and children’s stories, works that are both playful and deeply serious. In these beautifully composed and entertaining works, she ingeniously reworks fairytales, Greek and Sanskrit mythology, literary monsters such as Grendel’s Mother, and icons such as Saint Sebastian, all stitched together with her vivid imagination and wisdom. Writing with insight and wit about power, about inequality, and about oppression, Namjoshi brilliantly uses language and the literary tradition to expose what she finds absurd and unacceptable in modern life. This provocative and entertaining collection will be welcomed by Namjoshi’s fans and admirers of the feminist intellectual tradition. Born in Mumbai in 1941, Suniti Namjoshi is an important figure in contemporary Indian literature in English, a writer whose deep engagement with issues of gender, sexual orientation, cultural identity and human rights infuses everything she writes.
