There are many chickens, ants, pots and snails that are different. The verses say how many – but which, and how? Manjula Padmanabhan takes spotting odd ones out to the next merry level of stimulation and challenge, while remaining true to her pet theme of identity and plurality. The brilliantly rendered pictures and designs point to ways of perceiving similarity and difference through structure, detail and perspective. Children, and grown-ups, too, will have their cognitive skills excitingly teased.

LOKPRIYA JASOOSI KAHANIYAN
- Author Name:
Bhavishya Kumar Sinha
- Book Type:
- Description: ‘दीवारों के भी कान होते हैं’, हिंदी में इस कहावत का क्या आधार है? इसकी परिभाषा या व्याख्या की कोई जरूरत नहीं है, क्योंकि एक अनपढ़ भी इसका मतलब समझता है। जासूसी का इतिहास बहुत लंबा है। पाँच हजार साल पीछे जाएँ तो महाभारत में भी कई मिसाल मिल जाएँगी। पांडवों का अज्ञातवास भंग करने का प्रयास एक जासूसी प्रकरण नहीं तो और क्या है! जासूसी कहानी में एक जबरदस्त कौतूहल, जिज्ञासा और उत्कंठा होती है, जो पाठक की दिलचस्पी को आगे आनेवाली घटनाओं के बारे में मजबूती से पकड़कर रखती है। पाठक के सभी अनुमान विफल हो जाते हैं, जब घटनाक्रम अकस्मात् नए-नए मोड़ लेता है। इस रुचि को बाँधे रखना ही जासूसी कहानियों के लेखक की लेखन-निपुणता की कसौटी है। बड़े-बड़े तिलिस्मी उपन्यासों, जैसे कि चंद्रकांता संतति, भूतनाथ, सफेद शैतान आदि से कौन परिचित नहीं है। इस संग्रह में अंग्रेजी की कुछ प्रमुख और लोकप्रिय जासूसी कहानियों का संकलन है, जो रहस्य-रोमांच से भरपूर हैं और पाठकों को बाँधकर रखने की अद्भुत क्षमता रखती हैं।
