Thommy's New World: A Short Provincial Holiday

More about the book

Thommy is on a holiday. In the small town of Alleppey, he is fascinated by the new sights and sounds. And he has a lot of questions. The sea, mosquitoes, an elephant and the auto-rickshaw are but a few of the things that highlight his days at his grandfather’s beachside home. Father Chandy, a priest who runs a shelter, is a regular visitor. The little boy does something which touches everyone’s heart. He goes back to America hoping to return the very next year. The innocent curiosity of a child is the charm of the story.
