[Abhijeet Gonsalves · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book contains art pieces of Mario Miranda from his childhood to his recent works, chosen from about 8000 drawings, collected by the publisher Gerard da Cunha and editor Bevinda Collaco.
Their efforts are praiseworthy as evident from this biography cum 'art exhibition in a book'.

The text on Mario Miranda gives ample insight of his vibrant personality and modest nature.
Mario Miranda has his own style of drawing and hatching technique in his cartoons (which he calls 'just drawings'), he started out from keeping a drawing diary to become India's well known cartoonist.

A great read, one can't stop admiring Mario's works, every time you revisit a drawing of his, you will discover a Trivia but a beautiful detail.
