Summary:
Alfred and his crew travel to India where they meet ten-year-old Radji, a homeless and illiterate Untouchable. As they journey across India to the ancient city of Varanasi, they discover a land of extremes where wealth and poverty, beauty and danger go hand in hand and experience what it's like to be an Untouchable.
"Alfred and his crew of Seaweed the seagull and Hollie the dog begin their exploration of India with a piece of bad luck when they surface behind a frigate and bring the wrath of the Indian navy down upon them. After a near fatal encounter off Kochi, Alfred befriends a ten-year-old homeless and illiterate but highly intelligent boy, and is given the chance to explore the changing face of India through the eyes of one of its untouchables. Discovering India to be an ancient land filled with extremes of beauty, wealth, tradition and danger, Alfred is tricked into making an overland pilgrimage to Varanasi, one of the world 's oldest cities. Along the journey he witnesses practices which deny human equality and dignity, but also happy events that celebrate the spirit of new beginnings, as personified in Ganesh, the Hindu god with four arms and the head of an elephant."--From publisher.
