A naive ten-year-old. Two proclaimed bandits. A cow. a parrot. Hardly an alliance to speak of. Yet, when they get together , their camaraderie moves heaven on earth! Well... almost... A noven set in the old, old days when girls were married at eight, when caste differences were very much rampant, when the Moon Godsent down healing powers, when the political scenario was not quite homely...
