Book Description
Set in the Nilgiris, this book is a beautiful evocation of the life of the Todas—a tribe of the region, and of Moz—a Nilgiri tahr or ibex who is rescued from a trap by Karnoz—a Toda boy. Perfectly complementing Moz’s adventures in the village and outside including those with dholes, leopards and hunters is that of Karnoz’s growing up and the Todas ultimately having to leave the area due to the building of a dam. Sensitive illustrations complement the text.
