tide of World War II in Asia, he goes to seek the man who took the best part of his

life from him. His quest will take him beyond the edge of his familiar world, through

mist and smoke and an ancient Naga legend, into the unknown …

How to bring up a Happy Child • Know all your child's friends, the invisible and imaginary

ones, too!• Do not always expect a tangible benefit from the

activities a child engages in – a happy smile should be reward enough.

• If the child is uncomfortable in the dark keep a lamp with a low wattage bulb in the room, at least till she/he falls asleep.

With practical advice and tips on how to raise a happy child, this is a handy book for anxious moms and dads. The book has been divided into ten categories for easy reference and is a simple and basic guide on how to deal with your child, whether in times of stress or in normal day-to-day life.
