Book Review-366 Words in Mumbai
.A highly visual and informative guide to young tourists ! A book for truly India and a tribute to Mumbaikars. The information is lucid yet packed with where, why and who of Mumbai. The Queen's Necklace bewitches the ever buzzing city a home to the rich and the minimals. The enchanting gardens and the gothic heritage walks mesmerize many. The author in all her endeavors has created a picturesque landscape of what one could like for in Mumbai and get hooked for it forever. The illustration are self explanatory and can awe even young kids who have just discovered the joy of reading. I have referred this book to many and well most can't help describing the excitement of knowing Mumbai in the most unconventional way. The rich cultural and traditional identity is well depicted through the festivals celebrated in India. Moreover the seasons and the life line of Mumbai -the railways station as it is rightly called is also well illustrated and described. empowering the little tourist to have his or her own guide is what truly makes him a proud and well informed young Indian.
