Written and illustrated by National Award winning animator Joshi Benedict, the book takes you to a sleepy hamlet in Northern Kerala which feels all too ordinary and unexplicably magical at the same time. The protagonist of the story, Babychan is a gambling addict who is now taken through a string of life choices; some of them which he makes and the others which are made for him. The Magic and the mundane of the story is only accentuated by Joshy's characteristic vibrant water colour and ink panels and his adept sense of framing which makes this book a true testament to his mastery over the craft. This self-published version comes with never before seen handwritten lettering by the artist himself.
