A Brand New Series of Books on Trains: Coming Soon!

posted on January 11, 2016

Do you know who Bholu is? Since 2002, this friendly guard elephant has been the mascot of the Indian Railways. I’m delighted to be writing a series of stories for children, featuring Bholu, along with many other characters.

Bholu at the Level Crossing blog
The first book for younger readers: Bholu at the Level Crossing

The series will target two age-groups:
Younger readers (aged 5-8)
Older readers (aged 9-13)

The books for younger readers will have Bholu at the forefront; the ones for older readers will be adventure stories — all set in and around the Indian Railways.

Coming soon – both in print at the National Rail Museum, Delhi, and as ebooks!
