Previews From Other Authors
“Feathered Friends is a delightful collection of short stories set in the
Bird World. Heart-warming, varied, humorous and true, the stories
subtly hold up life lessons without preaching. This beautifully
illustrated book will surely endear itself to children and adults alike.”

“The community of ‘Feathered Friends’, whose stories have been
narrated by Sarita Dasgupta in a clear and elegant style, is a place
where we can find Gentleness, Compassion, Attention and Respect
towards others, Friendly Solidarity, and a joyful Sense of Humour as
elements that drive this small society of lovely living beings. It has
good lessons, gently told, for both children and grown-ups, of how
our world of human beings could and should be.” ~

“Birds are everywhere in our lives. Yet we hardly spare them a glance.
Mrs Dasgupta’s delightful stories draw you into the realm of birds.
The forest home of Hooter, Woodsy, Fledge and Emerald will enchant
you and their adventures will keep you turning the pages.” ~
