Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Tracing the journey of a humble wild species of the forest to its spread over the subcontinent, the author pieces together India's fascination with the mango and explores why the mango is more than a mere fruit to India. She talks about the appearance of the mango on the Indian landscape and how it permeated their literature, mythology, arts and craft. The second section of the book deals with the practical aspect of growing a mango tree - in an orchard or in a pot - caring for it and marketing it. This beautiful book includes color illustrations.
