Description
Book SynopsisBhajju Shyam - a brilliant artist from the Gond tribe in central India - was commissioned to paint the walls of an Indian restaurant in London, and spent two months in the city. The book that emerged from the journey is a visual travelogue of his first encounter with a western metropolis. With radical innocence and great sophistication, Bhajju brings the signs of the Gond forest to bear on the city, turning London into an exotic jungle. This new and fully re-designed edition of the now-classic book marks the tenth anniversary of Bhajju's momentous journey to London.
Trade Review"A beautiful book - I would like to give it to everyone I love when they are traveling." - John Berger "A startlingly generous and colourful collection of images, capable of making the most jaded metropolitan refocus and smile." - The Independent on Sunday
