Are books about stories? Are they for understanding others? Do they tell us more about the subject or more about the author and how they see the subject?
Sometimes, I feel I like to collect books more than I like to read them. I want to be that unbothered person in a cafe who is really into his book, but I am not always that person. I keep trying, and occasionally, when the right book finds me, I get to be that person, even if I am stuck in the rain.
This artwork is inspired by my various visits to Faqir-Chand Bookstore over the last two decades.

The Adventures of the Toy Maker is a self-indulgent collection of animated artworks by artist and Illustrator Amrit Pal Singh.
It depicts the life and times of the Toy Maker. It is a tale of a whimsical journey that unfolds with each artwork.
