This book was born during an afternoon session of storytelling. If Swayam and Samriddhi hadn’t told me their stories, these two stories would not have been written. They planted the seeds for these stories, so they are co-creators of these stories. That’s why I gift these stories to them. I hope they would create many more beautiful stories of their own as they go along. Just as Swayam and Samriddhi greatly enjoyed these stories, I hope many more children would.
This book for children has two stories which grown-ups are also allowed to read. 'Cave of Joy: Anand Gufa' is a fairytale in which Lav and Kush, two small children, face great adversity with courage and fortitude, honour and dignity..'The Swan and The Turtle' is a fable telling the story of the adorable Princess Shweta and the wise and ancient Grandpa Kachhap.
