A book of history packed into a set of letters, written in the easiest possible way and conveying a lot through just a few words. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru is the author of  these letters which not only carry history and data but also many moral values and view points written in connection with the content. These letters were originally written in order to make little Indu (Indira Gandhi at the age of ten) understand the nature's book, develop  love towards nature, know the history of mankind and the logics behind vast subjects like religion. Thus the language is extremely simple . The book I read had lovely illustrations too! I enjoyed the book. Even though there was no story indeed, the author managed to draw one from the depths of past itself. The letters end abruptly and I badly wish that they would go on for a little longer. As soon as I read the first chapter's( rather letter's name) I was glued to the book. Read this book as it will not only enhance your knowledge but will also heighten your mindset.
