Summary

Hailed as a book that reverses the anthropological gaze, 'The London Jungle Book' is the personal story of Indian tribal artist Bhajju Shyam's first encounter with a western city. Revised & fully updated to mark the 10th anniversary of that momentous journey, Bhajju's rich art and poignant reflections are as relevant today as they ever were.

The London Jungle Book Summary

The London Jungle Book by Bhajju & Wolf

Bhajju Shyam - a brilliant artist from the Gond tribe in central India - was commissioned to paint the walls of an Indian restaurant in London, and spent two months in the city. The book that emerged from the journey is a visual travelogue of his first encounter with a western metropolis. With radical innocence and great sophistication, Bhajju brings the signs of the Gond forest to bear on the city, turning London into an exotic jungle. This new and fully re-designed edition of the now-classic book marks the tenth anniversary of Bhajju's momentous journey to London.

The London Jungle Book Reviews

A beautiful book - I would like to give it to everyone I love when they are traveling. - John Berger A startlingly generous and colourful collection of images, capable of making the most jaded metropolitan refocus and smile. - The Independent on Sunday
