PICKWICK's PLAN - A 5 STAR 2013 READERS FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS CONTEST WINNER - CEREMONY IN MIAMI ON 23RD NOVEMBER 2013 - MEET THE AUTHOR THERE The Author writes: This book started out as a Bedtime story told by me to my little children around the year 1992-93 and remained in limbo until finally, I decided to retire very early from my profession as a senior bank officer to get these "Family Read Together" books published. It is my belief that the books will be loved for generations by young and old alike . Pickwick's Plan begins with a Little Pixie Town on the edge of the enchanted Great Booga Dooga Forest near the Great Booga Dooga Lake in the enchanted Booga Dooga Land and revolve around the life and adventures of one of the smallest Pixies, Pickwick. The story was told chapter by chapter to my little children and evolved in its telling - there was the magic of playing with the words of the English language, and the emergence of different beings who have made the book a unique "Family Read Together" experience. Every line is original and every episode opens out new vistas. Another of tales of the Booga Dooga Land, 'The Wormus', has been published and will be followed by many other books in the series, with each being an independent book in itself. Deepak Menon New Delhi
