In Mysore in southern India, elephants are featured in the annual Dasara festival procession. The Lewins describe Balarama's triumphant first appearance as procession leader. Pageantry and noble beasts alike are vividly realized in Ted Lewin's signature watercolors, while Betsy Lewin's agile drawings add deft characterizations, lively action, and humor. It's a gorgeous glimpse at a continuing custom. "Elephant Facts" are appended. Glos.
