Soumya Ayer

Soumya Ayer is captivated by the stories that objects tell, whether they are sculptures, ceramics, shadow puppets or textiles ? objects that carry stories of a time, a place, and a people long gone but who still shape our world. She is a published author of a series of books on Indian mythology for children. The Ghost of Malabar is her foray into fiction for children, weaving together her interests in the history of objects and storytelling.
