Book Details
हकीम अण्टा गफील अपने मरीज़ों के पास घोड़े से आते-जाते हैं। बीते जमाने की सवारी पर सवार रहते हैं तो जाहिर है खुद भी पुराने होंगे। भले आदमी हैं, हकीम होते हुए भी चाहते हैं कि मरीज़ चंगा हो जाए। मगर अक्सर गड़बड़ कर देते हैं। हकीम अण्टा गफील इन्हीं गड़बडि़यों की नज़्म है।
किताब में एलन शॉ के बनाए चित्र हैं। उन्होंने हकीम की सूरत और वेशभूषा से ज़्यादा उसे उसकी कुर्सी, थैला, घोड़ा, खटिया और अलमारी से बनाया है। यह इतना सजीव है कि उनका पता भी होता तो मिलने चले जाते।
