by Rashmi Ruth Devadasan & Shyam
The maidens in these pages all have beauty, brains and talent. They while away the night and day with monsters fierce and gallant!
KUMARI LOVES A MONSTER is a romantic picture book featuring beautiful young women whose boyfriends are gruesome monsters. Each page contains a short poem in English and Tamil, and a quirky fantasy art scene painted by Shyam, the go-to illustrator for the Tamil magazine and pulp fiction industry for the last twenty years.
