Well probably not many other stories just at the moment if truth be told but The London Jungle Book has recently been lent to me by Margie Booth (another Spring Fling participant). It's beautiful. It is the vision of London as seen by Bhajju, an artist from the Gond tribe in central India. The art that this tribe practises is a community art, created and enjoyed by their villages not in any way produced commercially. Their folk art is constructed of symbols to tell the mythology. Have a look if you get the chance, it's beautiful and the explanations for the imagery used to illustrate each piece of the tale of Bhajju's visit is fabulous.Pages
