A Mouthful of Petals – the story of an Indian village. Warm, graphic, impressionistic, eminently sensible, this humane and appealing facsimile reprint about 1960's India is a modest account of the part two dedicated, but far from solemn, young Australian teachers played in the grassroots problems of a developing country, a story of the difficulty, but not impossibility, of doing anything by individual efforts to combat the misery, poverty and ignorance that affects so much of the world.

JP His Biography. Jayaprakash Narayan was one of the last outstanding moral and political figures who carried forward Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of non-violent mass struggle and village self-sufficiency into post-Independence India. Allan and Wendy Scarfe first worked as volunteers in J.P.’s Sokhodeora ashram in Bihar in 1958. Their biography of J.P. was first published in 1975. In this revised edition of JP His Biography the Scarfes have presented afresh, and concisely, the essence and core of J.P. the man, philosopher and political activist. …the woefully inadequate economic and political empowerment of the majority of Indian people – the central issue J.P. grappled with and attempted to find solutions to – renders this book essential reading today.
