Warm, graphic, impressionistic, eminently sensible, this humane and appealing facsimile reprint about 1960s India is a modest account of the part two dedicated, but far from solemn, young Australian teachers played in the grassroots problems of a developing country, a story of the difficulty, but not impossibility, of doing anything by individual effort to combat the misery, poverty and ignorance that affect so much of the world.<br/><br/>''''It describes with warmth, sympathy and occasional near - despair, the life of an Indian village from the inside.'''' - Nancy Cato, The Age<br/><br/>''''A fresh, realistic and accurate account of life in one Indian village.'''' - Mary Martin, Australian Book Review<br/><br/>''''A book that is not only beautiful but also important …a work of deep understanding …and profound humanity.'''' - J. Jordens, Overland<br/><br/>''''The writing is of the most unpretentious, as artless as a diary …a startlingly vivid picture of this one small remote spot on our earth.'''' - New Statesman, London
