I met Sálim Ali sahib, the legend and paradigm of ornithology, as a tiny tot. My naturalist father had taken me to meet him at his home. The two things I remember from that visit are the roof-high shelves of books lining his study and the hard, orange toffee his secretary gave me.

Sálim Ali for Children is not just for children. It is for all of us. Zai Whitaker, the grandniece, who is a celebrated conservationist, has brought to the fore his less-known personal life as well as his times as a trailblazer.
