Today, the story telling has come down considerably, what remains are the paintings. These are collector's pieces which grace many a wall or home or gallery. The paintings are beautiful, accurate presentation of a story. They stand out for the naive innate charm. The book covers 4 of the scroll paintings which are alive and made with gusto, though are fast losing out in the modern world. These are the Phad from Rajasthan, the Patua or Pata paintings from Bengal, the Cherial paintings of Andhra Pradesh and Chitrakathi from Maharashtra.
