What book are you reading right now?
Right now I’m reading the amazing story book‘The Lifeboat that Saved the World by author and living legend, Irving Finkel .
Charmed by the originality, simplicity and creativity of the author, I bought his book at the ZeeJLF 2019 held in the British Library,London,UK.
It was such a big honor to meet him in person, to chat with him and to exchange ideas about writing books. Irving Finkel autographed my copy and I told him with an iota of pride that I was an author too. Adding that a catalogue record of my book The Princess and the Crow is available from the British Library too!
We congratulated each other.
Now that I am working on a new children’s book, I have picked up the book of Finkel again to draw inspiration from his invaluable work.
From carved stones to modern, beautiful calligraphy , writing is one of the miraculous achievements of the world.
The best thing that you can do is to write children’s books ’ Irving Finkel
