The Decision: The Story of Kumar, a Young Gurung

by Joanne Stephenson

"This is the story of a young boy on the brink of manhood, struggling to learn the ways of a new culture whilst holding onto the values of the traditional ways of the family. We see Kumar grow and develop into a responsible adolescent male facing many difficult decisions. Joanne Stephenson gives the reader an intimate and sensitive view of the lives of the Gurungs." -- Lisa Chewning "As I read through the story I felt as if I were in the village where it took place. The characters were realistic and conversations were familiar to the villages of Nepal. The romance of Kumar and Manju; and the character Surya, a political personality, are particularly well-portrayed. The story reveals the inner ambitions of the students in the villages as well as the values held by their parents who want them to live in the villages only. Kumar' s life in Kathmandu reflects the hardships and struggles that a students faces in the city. Kumar's final decision is praiseworthy, showing courage and a sense of the needs of the village. Joanne Stephenson has written a very sympathetic story and I hope that more people will learn to make to make good decisions like Kumar." -- Juju Tuladhar Paperback. 116 pages. B&W drawings and maps.

The Jungle Book

by Rudyard Kipling

Sher Kahn, Mowgli, Bagheera, these are the names that evoke an instant picture of a misty land, where dense jungles brush up to crumbling, once majestic, old forts and places in distant India.

One of Rudyard Kipling's most famous books, written originally for children, is The Jungle Book. This classic new edition offers us a collection of tales guaranteed to impress today's younger readers as much as it did when it was first published.

The principal character in The Jungle Book was Mowgli, the man-cub, and it inspired Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the scouting movement, which has now spread worldwide. This book's narratives are much more than mere fairy tales: there are moral lessons woven into these tales.
