Abstract

This is an old fable that children and grown-ups in India enjoy says the first page of this book. Visually, the delight of this book lies in its lavish use of gold, I would say, and in the great dance of the six blind men, each with his hand on the shoulder of the smaller blind man walking ahead of him. The six get into a heated argument, and the shouting is enough to awaken the rajah. The library copy's cover has a blue background with light-colored figures of the elephant and the men. It was apparently printed in 1971. It adds an SBN number.
