About the Book
DIVE INTO THE FASCINATING WORLD OF IDIOMS WITH TIMELESS TALES
You may know what each means and now unlock the secret language of expressions through a potpourri of timeless tales.
This collection of 21 short stories is a delightful journey that explores the whimsy of idioms and their fascinating origins, from Aesop's Fables to everyday speech. It delves into the quirks of languages to discover that idioms are the colourful threads weaving the tapestry of cultures. The tales are not just a peek behind the linguistic curtain; they're a full-throttle journey. Get ready to see language in a whole new light--a richer, more human light and unlock the keys to understanding these rich, complex expressions.
About the Author

She is also a former non-profit development professional who spent two decades as an advocate and fundraiser for persons with disabilities. She won the 68th National Film Awards for Best Narration Voiceover for the film Rhapsody of Rains- Monsoons of Kerala, in 2022.
Shobha has published children's books in India and the United States, including the award-winning Indi-Alphabet (Mango and Marigold), Prince with a Paintbrush: The Story of Raja Ravi Varma (Westland), It's Time to Rhyme (Aleph), and Parvati the Elephant's Very Important Day (Harper Collins). Her first book for adults, Good Innings (Penguin), is being translated into Malayalam.
Shobha's love of words and stories began in childhood with storytelling sessions and word play with her siblings. When she is not travelling in search of stories, Shobha lives in Campbell, California, with her husband. When she's not writing, doing voice-overs, or multi-tasking, she can be found playing fun-grandmom to her two grandchildren, reading books, or telling tales from around the world.
A Treasure Trove of Timeless Tales is now being translated into Malayalam.
