Society & Culture
Leela Gour Broome, born to a Dutch mother and Maharashtrian father, loves nature, words and playing pranks (not necessarily in that order). A true Fauji brat, having lived for nine years on a tea plantation near Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu, her love for nature shines through in her two books for children The Red Kite Adventure and Flute in the Forest. Married to a gentleman farmer, she now lives on a small farm with many birds, some dogs and cows and visiting grandchildren. She is a regular at lit festivals for children, and when you listen to the interview, you'll know why. To know more, just click 'play'. :)
