Previously published, it became a minor classic among good samaritans, particularly in Britain, and was reviewed by The Times, New Statesman and such like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the invitation of India's venerated political leader and activist Jayaprakash Narayan, Wendy and Allan Scarfe, two dedicated but far from solemn young Australian teachers, travelled to the remote village of Sokhodeora in Bihar in 1960. They had been asked to take charge of the educational activities of his ashram, but over the three years they lived there, their activities extended far beyond that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis humane and important book recounts their efforts in helping local people counter the misery, poverty and ignorance that afflicted so much of the region. By the time they left, the Scarfes had succeeded in teaching both children and adults much that would help them to lead better and fuller lives. And they left behind, for the young at least, something to hope and work for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new edition of A Mouthful Of Petals includes an account of Wendy Scarfe's return trip to Sokhodeora during a famine in the late 1960s, and how those who live in Bihar state fare in the early twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Scarfe and Allan Scarfe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0369387163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780369387165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ReadHowYouWant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.28d","brand":"Wendy Scarfe and Allan Scarfe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227722805503,"sku":"9780369387165","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b570925b-637f-473b-abc2-3ad8675510c0.jpg?v=1692810237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-mouthful-of-petals-wendy-scarfe-and-allan-scarfe-9780369387165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
