The Victorian Book of Cakes by T Percy Lewis

A barber in Bengal is so generous to others that sometimes he has nothing left for his own family. When he comes home empty-handed once again, his wife, tired of going hungry, sends him packing until he finds a way to feed the family. As the barber rests under a banyan tree, he is terrorized by a ghost. Through his cleverness he turns the frightening encounter into a solution to his problems. When he returns home to his grateful wife, their money worries are over, and the barber can continue to share with those in need. Kristen Balouch's crisp and colorful illustrations transport us to a world where the living bargain and bluff with the dead, where communities gather under sprawling banyan trees, and where generosity prevails.
