Catching Fish and Other Stories

In 'Catching Fish' the monsoons have flooded the streets; fish leap and swim about to the delight of a group of little boys, who try their best to catch them, only to encounter a marvellous talking fish who becomes their friend. In 'Quilt' a young boy has an enchanting meeting with a pair of magical quilt-makers, who pluck the clouds as stuffing from the sky. In 'Growing Up' a pair of childhood girl friends find that somehow the years have slipped by, turning them into demure young women.
