What if we told you that Don of The Godfather had an alter ego, who was a beefy, wise old owl with a yellow beak, and, that he didn't lead the Italiani Mafia with guns and goons, but baked delicious pastries in his kitchen? In a new children's book, writer Raja Sen and illustrator Vishal K Bharadwaj will make you believe so. The Best Baker In the World (Puffin Books, Penguin), the first offering in Sen's My First Matinee series for kids, is a take on Francis Ford Coppola's American cult movie The Godfather (1972) that chronicles the story of a mafiosi family from Sicily under its ageing patriarch Vito Corleone. And, possibly for the umpteenth time, you might fall in love with the fictional Sicilian saga. Only now, it's not the stellar performances, but the adorably illustrated characters, and a narrative told in limericks, that keep you hooked.
