About the Book: The Trees of Medleey Garden
Tadpole and her brother Vishwajit have moved in next to Medley Gardens, which
is an old house surrounded by hundreds of trees. When the children wander into
the grounds to explore, they discover a startling fact—all the trees can talk to
them. Soon they start having conversations with these venerable residents, and
they become friends with Ustadji the banyan, the Neems, the Peepuls and Mangoes,
as well as with the birds and other creatures who live in the branches of these
trees. An astonishing world of hidden plant life now opens up for the brother
and sister.
