Mystery of the Missing Crown: A Goa Story
The reader will learn about the history and culture of Goa through the story and the back?of?book fact file.
Each sunny scene is a detailed hand drawing, evocative of the red earth and blue skies of Goa.
Haunting music floats out of the long?deserted Villa Falcao. Who could it be? Josephine and her menagerie of a dog, a mynah and a one?eyed cat, go off to investigate and find themselves hot on the trail of a long?forgotten mystery that takes them down to the musty bowels of the village church.
They unearth old secrets, but will they ever find the missing relic of the village of Rachol? Will the stranger who lands up next door ever find his way back home? An exciting story set in the heart of Goa, it transports the reader to the swaying palms and golden sands of its beaches, to the rich red balconies of its homes, and down the pews of its famous churches.
With generous helpings of delicious Goan food and shot through with lilting Goan music, this beautifully illustrated book, full of finely?wrought drawings, brings the radiant beauty and distinctive culture of Goa home to the reader.
