The Honey Gatherers by Mimlu Sen

The Honey Gatherers by Mimlu Sen

With Paban's encouragement, Mimlu too performs for alms - 'gathering honey' in the traditional Baul way - and is initiated into a hidden world of song, sensuality and adventure as wild and unpredictable as the landscape itself.

A revelation..a keyhole to a living mystical world...remarkable for its wonderful prose * William Dalrymple *
Brilliantly and honestly told, thrillingly evocative, this book is saturated in the sights, sounds and seasons of India -- Michael Wood
Exceptional...The haunting music provides the narrative drive of this wonderful piece of writing, as Sen reveals a colourful and largely unknown world...An illuminating and inspiring story of adventure in a world that few of us will ever experience * Daily Telegraph *
Joyfully written and very evocative of an esoteric, enchanted, chaotic world * Times *
