The Nimba Tree by Nita Berry is set in a village. It attracts the readers by its title (nimba is the Sanskrit word for neem). The nimba tree is the axis around which the village life revolves. Hacking of the tree by avaricious woodcutters renders little birds and animals homeless and the villagers without a gathering place.

Another work of Nilima Sinha which deserves mention here is The Lonely Princess. The cover page and the title of the book made me think that it was yet another stereotypical tale of a pampered princess, however it wasn’t so. While the book depicts the contrast between upper-lower class lifestyles, Sinha’s writing helps break gender stereotypes and lets the central character transcend class boundaries. Manika is a pampered princess with servants at her beck and call to fulfil all here wishes.
