THE NIGHT LIFE OF TREES (HANDMADE)

Intricately drawn visions of trees fill the pages of this sumptuous book of art and folklore from the Gond tribe in central India. There is a Gond belief that trees are busy during the day, giving shade and food to humans and animals. It is only during the night that their real spirit emerges. Each painting is accompanied by its own poetic tale, myth or lore narrated by the artists.
